An Emergency Measures Plan has been set up by the Balearic government to help those who do not have any jobs as the tourist season ends and have not been working long enough to claim for full benefit.
Around 16 million Euros will be allotted for such measures. In addition to the regular aid from the State, the Balearic government would offer 350 Euros each month to those who aren’t receiving dole money.
At a meeting of the Majorcan Council yesterday Joana Barcelo, the Employment minister and government spokesman, said that in addition to boosting the funding for those who are not receiving unemployment benefit, the local authorities would establish a job network in which new positions will be created to offer these workers jobs on contract basis.
