An increase supported by the regularization of thousands of jobs

The main beneficiaries are construction site workers: nearly 12,942 regularizations, substitute primary, middle and high school teachers: 13,837 positions, holders of applied licenses: 2,601 positions, physical education teachers: 1,066 positions, doctors integrated into various ministries: 1,350 positions, including 740 in higher education.
Reduction of structural unemployment in the public service
