Spain has shed close to 900,000 jobs, more than half of them temporary, since it went into lockdown in mid-March to fight the coronavirus outbreak, social security data showed

MADRID - Spain has shed 900,000 jobs since it went into lockdown to fight the coronavirus, a drop documented over less than three weeks that lays bare the unprecedented scale of the outbreak’s economic impact.

Social security data showed 898,822 Spaniards - including 613,000 fixed-term workers - had lost their jobs since the lockdown started. Thursday’s data is some of the first globally to spell out the extent of the lockdown’s impact on the labour market. March is usually a good month for employment in Spain because it marks the start of the holiday season, with many temporary workers finding jobs in particular in the hospitality sector.“The destruction of jobs is extraordinarily heavy for women, young people and the most precarious work sectors,” Pepe Álvarez, leader of the UGT union, Spain’s second-biggest union told RNE radio.
