00:00Qual país está criando o mais novo emprego na Eurozone?
00:07O Primeiro-Ministro Pedro Sánchez recentemente acreditou que seu país está responsável
00:11por a criatura de meio de todas as novas emprego na Eurozone.
00:15Pese a todas as dificuldades que nos encontramos internas e externas,
00:19España avanza, pese a quien le pese.
00:22Aportamos, fijaos, el 40% del crecimiento y la mitad de los nuevos empleos de la zona euro.
00:28But is Spain really creating half of all new jobs in the Eurozone?
00:32Let's see what the official numbers from Eurostat say.
00:35We can see that some 157 million people were employed in the first quarter of 2025
00:41in the Eurozone, compared to 155 million in the same period the year before,
00:46so an increase of almost 2 million jobs.
00:49Spain's employment figures stood at roughly 21,600,000 at the beginning of 2025,
00:55up from around 21,100,000 in 2024.
00:59That means an increase of about 454,000 jobs,
01:03which constitutes just over 25% of the extra jobs in the Eurozone,
01:08not 50%, as Sánchez claimed.
01:10However, it's worth noting that Spain has contributed the most new jobs
01:14to the Eurozone in the same period.
01:16Using the same calculations for each of the Eurozone countries,
01:19we see that Spain is up top of the list with its 25.3%,
01:23followed by France with 24.5%,
01:26and then Italy with 20.5%.
01:28Germany with 11%,
01:30and Portugal with 7% round out the top five Eurozone countries creating new jobs.
01:35Nonetheless, Spain does still rank as having one of the lowest employment rates
01:39compared to its total population in the EU, according to the same Eurostat dataset.
01:45This is despite recent reports that its GDP is thriving and outperforming France, Germany and Italy,
01:51the Eurozone's biggest economies.
01:53The Eurozone.
01:55The Eurozone.
01:57The Eurozone.
