The city of Alcorcón has achieved a historic milestone by registering its lowest unemployment figure for March, with a total of 7,041 people out of work, highlighting a year-on-year decrease of 4.71%.

This significant drop in the number of unemployed, which translates to 347 fewer people out of work compared to the previous year, exceeds the average for the Community of Madrid, where the reduction stood at 3.81%. The improvement has been particularly notable among women, with 204 fewer unemployed, and in the age group between 24 and 44 years, which has seen a decrease of 235 people in unemployment.
