Since the beginning of the closure, the number of recipients of unemployment benefits has increased by 44,000

Since the beginning of the closure, the number of recipients of unemployment benefits has increased by 44,000. It rose from 611,000 at the beginning of the closure to 655,000. The National Insurance Institute estimates that the tightening of the closure will lead to more than double the number of about one hundred thousand. The final number depends on the severity of the closure. This means that the closure will end with about 700,000 recipients of unemployment benefits.
It should be noted that one hundred thousand is a low amount in many previous locksmiths. This is also due to the fact that employers have learned to run their businesses and organizations remotely, but mainly from the huge amount of unemployed who have not been returned to previous locksmiths. In the first closure, the number of recipients of unemployment benefits rose from 80,000 in February to a peak of 890,000 recipients of unemployment benefits in April. It dropped in the period between closures to 440,000 in July, that is about half. In September, when the second closure began, it rose again to 640,000.
The National Insurance Institute also stated that over 240 of its service representatives have been found positive for the virus or are in isolation. "This affects the provision of the service and adds to the existing burdens. The National Insurance Administration is working as much as possible to find solutions to the situation."
The employment service estimated at the beginning of the closure that the number of new job seekers would reach 90 to 120,000 people, depending on the extent of the closure. The Employment Service said that yesterday 4,000 new jobseekers were registered and a total of 53,000 jobseekers were registered since the beginning of the closure last Sunday. It should be remembered that some job seekers are not entitled to unemployment benefits and therefore will not appear in the Social Security data.
Of the third-quarantine job seekers, 79% were expelled and 21% were 11,000 fired or resigned. 30% of registrants are sales and 10.5% in beauty, grooming and fashion. The unemployed employed in education, such as contractor teachers, counselors and administrative staff.This week the Employment Service also reported that 80% of the third quarantine unemployed were already unemployed during the corona.This 55% is the third unemployment round and 25% the second.
