Labour market in the Balearic Islands: January brings noticeable relief

Answer

Why did unemployment fall in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands in January?

January brought a clear drop in registered unemployment across the Balearic Islands, mainly because winter activity starts to pick up again in services, hospitality, cleaning, and some workshop and construction work. On Mallorca, that means more short-term hiring and a little more movement in local businesses after the quieter holiday period.
