- Between 2012 and 2024, the Region of Murcia has received 66 million euros, which has allowed to hire more than 16,000 workers

May 7, 2024. The Agricultural Employment Promotion Program will allocate 6,055,379.36 euros in its call of 2024 for the hiring of some 1,200 casual workers in depressed rural areas of twenty-two municipalities of the Region of Murcia.
The delegate of the Government, Mariola Guevara, has chaired the Regional Monitoring Commission in which the distribution of funds contributed entirely by the Public Service of State Employment has been approved, which has allocated 66 million euros since 2012 to hire more than 16,000 workers.
The objective of this program is to improve the situation of the group of temporary workers of the Special System of Agricultural Workers with the dual purpose of improving their training and employability and, in addition, to promote rooting in depressed rural areas.
This money is used to finance salary costs and company contributions for carrying out work on projects of general and social interest managed and contracted by the Local Corporations.
The start of the works varies according to the municipalities, as it is a condition that the execution of the project coincides with periods of low agricultural activity. For this year it is planned that the municipalities can start the projects during the second half of July or the beginning of August.
During the meeting of the Regional Monitoring Commission, the distribution of credit among the beneficiary municipalities has been agreed based on the market indicator and the historical criterion, according to the following table.
