In case of Spain, the employment destruction is excessively notable, since we are one of the countries of the European Union that more employment loses and that less it generates. That's why, it is especially worrying and harmful.

What is the employment destruction

We read that the economy is destuyendo employment although without knowing very well what means this term. The employment destruction takes place principally when in sectors of the economy, as it is the case of the construction they begin to complicate the things and there are labor dismissals. The problem of the massive dismissals, the fact is that they are not relocated to another sector and therefore employment is destroyed.

One of the most constant struggles of the Spanish government is that of the reconstruction or it reforms of the employment, because it is necessary that the economy retroalimente and begin to grow in certain sectors

In Spain, the trade unions it has a social force and publishes important and they think that the employment destruction comes for the ERE (records of regulation of employment) of the companies and also for how the dismissals get cheaper, although from the office they say that not.
