According to a report by Infoempleo and Adecco Group, a 25.31% increase in job offers has been observed during 2022 compared to the previous year. These levels are the highest since before the 2008 economic crisis. Growth is expected to continue in 2023, albeit at a more moderate pace.

However, the study points out that the distribution of job offers in Spain has not been equitable. 56.21% of all offers are concentrated in the Community of Madrid (23.55% of the total), Catalonia (22.24%) and Andalusia (10.42%). Only Madrid and Catalonia have experienced an increase in their share, while other regions such as the Basque Country and the Community of Valencia have remained stable at 7.69% and 7.46% respectively.

When analyzing the regions with lower job creation, Asturias stands out with 1.10% of total job offers, followed by the Balearic Islands (1.04%) and La Rioja (0.96%).

As for Madrid, the report highlights its prominent role in job creation in Spain, with an increase of 23.55% in vacancies, three percentage points more than in 2021. After three years of negative trend, Madrid returns to present values similar to those prior to the pandemic, with a 3.33% growth in its weight within the regional distribution of job vacancies in Spain. This increase is the most notable among all the autonomous communities.
