Schteingart detailed that ehe dynamism of the mining activity, together with its suppliers, explained most of the creation of labor sources in several of these departments.
Such were the cases of Iglesia, where Veladero is located, the most important mine in the country, Magallanes, where the most important mining projects of Santa Cruz, Lake Buenos Aires or Calingasta are located. Regarding the latter, the director of the CEP assured that employment in the region recovered from the closure of the Alumbrera mine in 2018, “by the hand of mining contractors (linked to lithium and the Agua Rica deposit)”.
Other sectors of great importance for the appearance of new jobs in these places were the construction and the agro. Likewise, according to the information released by the official of the Ministry of Productive Development, the forestry sector drove most of the formal employment in Santo Tomé, and the textile industry had a great impact on May 1st.
The latest official data showed that between October 2020 and October 2021, 78% of the jobs that had been lost since the pandemic began were recovered. In this way, employment returned to levels similar to those of two years ago, although there are still sectors, such as Restaurants and Hotels, that still have a long way to go to heal the blow caused by Covid-19.
