Unemployment in Fuerteventura Canary Islands has decreased by 2.5% in July 2011 thanks to the growing tourism industry.

The total number of unemployed people in Fuerteventura, an island within the province of Las Palmas has dropped by 2.5% according to Radio Television Canaria (RTVC). The increase in tourist numbers coming to Fuerteventura has been the main reason for the economic turn around. Most of the jobless who found a job in July were long term unemployed rather than just seasonal showing that the recovery is steadily improving for the longer term.


Pajara is where the unemployment decreased the most, 6% less than in June of this year but the effects can be felt in other areas also including Costa Calma, Caleta de Fuste and Corralejo where tourist occupation levels hit over 90% in July and are expected even higher in August 2011. The Hotel sector has given most new job opportunities, as the industry prepares itself for a busy 3rd & 4th quarter plus greater numbers in early 2012.


Unemployment abroad and in Northern Europe has also encouraged many new visitors to the island as people look for new possibilities to live and work abroad. Many new residents have started to create their own companies, preferring to swap traditional employment at home with opening their own businesses in the Sun. These new jobs and businesses are good news for Fuerteventura, which is recovering from the financial crisis by improving its resorts and hotels.
