The CCOO union has issued a statement on the heels of the latest data from the Active Population Survey saying that having a job does not mean getting out of poverty in the Balearic Islands and has demanded the creation of a public housing park to help working class employees with lower wages to get out of poverty.

One way for certain that would help everyone is by reducing the costs of having an autonomo. Its cost should be linked to income rather than a high flat rate and the introductory lower rate should be extended further. Accountant charges need to be capped and only required half or whole yearly. By doing this it would give more entrepreneural opportunity for those willing to give it a go and become successful rather than working for someone else. I see many start ups close up every year because the Atmo is too expensive. Dream on though.
Witnessed this for myself during a recent holiday in Port de Pollença . Bins regularly been searched through around the back streets of the port.
Meanwhile, the local government is slashing expenditure.
