Marbella reached a record number of employees with 73,533 paying Social Security contributions.
The majority of the growth has been driven by the self-employed, and represents an increase of 1,527 workers compared to the same period in 2024. Speaking at a press conference, the councillor for employment, Alejandro Freijo, said that the figures are ‘evidence that the city continues to consolidate itself as a reference in the labour market and in entrepreneurship.’
‘The growth in the number of contributors confirms the positive trend of employment in the city, which month by month is breaking records compared to previous periods,’ continued Freijo, who specified that the February data ‘is even more significant if we take into account that it is the first increase in the total number of members in the last six months, reversing the slight downward trend after the high season.’
The local representative indicated that this rebound ‘responds, in large part, to the reactivation of the tourism and services sector for Easter and other non-peak months of the year.’
The number of entrepreneurs registered in the city is now 14,965, which represents an increase of over 500 entrepreneurs compared to February 2024.
