The government is raising public employment offers to 44,787 jobs, including police and justice.

The Council of Ministers on Tuesday approved the Public Employment Offer (OPE) for 44,787 encrypted sites. The final number is higher than agreed on Monday with the General Administration unions, as state security forces and bodies and the administration of justice are involved. “This means almost doubling the recent offer announced by the Rajoy government,” said Finance Minister Maria Jesუსs Montero.

The government agreed this Monday with the unions for nearly 30,000 seats in the OPE state general administration. However, this figure did not include the National Police Corps, the Civil Guard and the Justice Administration. In particular, 4992 new positions are included in the security forces, of which 650 correspond to the internal promotion of these bodies. In turn, Justice will have 1737 seats, of which 945 are free.

The government divides this OPE into two parts, one for the stabilization of the ordinary and the other for the temporary workers. The usual 34151 places will be. “This is a normal offer, the most important approved in the Council of Ministers, with a 12.2% increase over 2021,” Montero said after the executive session. 15,800 seats are free and 9,591 correspond to internal promotion.

10,637 vacancies will be added to the vacancies held after the passage of the law on the reduction of high temporary employment in the public sector. 4632 of them will have positions in the General State Administration, while 5545 will be suitable for the Administration of Justice.

Montero noted that in addition to these more than 44,000 locations, more than 18,000 are held in line with the public business sector.

“We want to provide public administrations with the necessary resources,” said the Minister of Finance. Montero specified that 27.5% of the seats are focused on “social cohesion and services”, another 19% on the green economy and 14.6% on digital transformation. In addition, he noted that 20% of the incorporations will be in technological, scientific and mathematical profiles.

The Minister of Finance and Public Function noted that the government has promised to announce all the challenges for these positions by the end of 2021 in order to be rewarded by 31 December 2022.
