Last June, Mijas recorded 5,322 unemployed people, which translates into a year-on-year decrease of 12.05%. These figures, according to the government team, are good news, as they are the lowest in the last 17 years. One would have to go back to November 2008 to find similar data. In addition, these figures represent a decrease of 347 people compared to the same month last year and 142 fewer than in May 2025.

For the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), "the figures are excellent news for Mijas and its residents and an incentive to continue working for the well-being of our neighbours. There is no doubt that having a job is synonymous with prosperity, which is why the Town Hall will continue to promote policies to encourage employment".
