Unemployment falls in Camp de Morvedre in June despite more job-seekers
The district closed June with 79 fewer unemployed people than in May and 131 fewer than a year ago, as the working-age population keeps growing.
Registered unemployment fell in Camp de Morvedre (the district around Sagunto) during June, with 79 fewer jobless people than in May and 131 fewer than a year ago, according to the latest district figures. The drop comes even as the working-age population grows, driven by demographic growth and by a special regularisation process for foreign residents, which has brought hidden jobs into the official system and raised Social Security contributions. Sagunto is the largest town in the district, which had 102,642 residents across 16 municipalities in 2025, a steady growth that helps explain why both the labour force and the number of employed people rose at the same time. The figures still show clear gaps: women make up 62% of registered unemployment, and almost six in ten jobless people are 45 or older. The CCOO union welcomes the job creation but says wage improvements must go hand in hand with new contracts, along with measures against gender and age inequality, and stronger workplace-safety prevention.
