Abstract

This paper discusses the uneven impacts that the crisis is generating in the employment in Spanish cities and the consequential territorial effects. After an initial introductory section, the article focuses on the analysis of the evolution of employment in the pre-crisis period, since it began. Then the study analyzes the evolutionary behavior of the main activity sectors, differentiating two stages between the years 2006-2009 and 2009-2012. Afterwards, the focus is placed on the construction sectorÍ€”which is partly responsible for the crisisÍ€”and on those service activities that have been hit the hardest by the countryÍ€™s austerity policies. Lastly, urban employment rates are analyzed relating them to those of all Spain and a classification of cities is proposed, along with final conclusions and reflections.
