Replying to a parliamentary question by Labour MP Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi, education minister Evarist Bartolo pre- sented statistics for the 2011 to 2017 periods, showing that unemployment had reached a high of 7,789 in January 2014, but is currently at its lowest in this statistical period. While the number of unem- ployed persons in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 hovered around the 6,200 to 7,800 mark, as from March 2015 figures start- ed mostly dropping steadily, with only occasional minor in- creases registered. The major industry sectors where the previously un- employed found work were manufacturing; wholesale and retail trade and the repair of motor vehicle and motor- cycles; and administrative and support service activi- ties, data tabled in parliament showed. Moreover, construction, transport and storage, and ac- commodation and food ser- vice activities were also sig- nificant sectors in which the unemployed found new jobs. A total of 142 unemployed people found jobs in the pub- lic administration and defence or compulsory social security sections in 2017, down from a high of 349 in 2014. In 2011 and 2012, 146 and 156 persons respectively found employ- ment in this sector. Women in the workforce The number of women with full-time or part-time jobs stood at 93,346 as of June 2017. This was an increase of more than 3,500 from the number of women in the workforce in December 2016, and an in- crease of almost 25,400 from the December 2011 statistic of 67,960. The data shows that, from December 2011 to June 2017, roughly 3,600 more women each year entered the work- force. The sectors that women most commonly found work in were the wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles sector; the ed- ucation sector; human health and social work activities; and the administrative and support service sector. costa@mediatoday.com.mt 2,250 unemployed in November 2017, down from 7,800 in January 2015 masts and other cargo. It was eventually dis- mantled in 1864 but the large iron loops on the roof that served as anchors for the steel cables remain there. The iron moorings are now part of a roof- top terrace where the hotel hosts wedding functions, overlooking the Dock 1 creek. Immersed in history, at the heart of the Three Cities, the building is now a Cugo Gran boutique hotel, part of IBB hotels, a subsidiary of the Von der Heyden Group. Thorsten Sander, 45, has been appointed general manager of the hotel. He says the historic building is an attraction in itself but the location is impressive. Cugo Gran Macina has just 21 rooms, with high vaulted ceilings. The rooms range from 40 square metres to 130 square metres. A rooftop swimming pool on the annex to the main building offers guests impres- sive views of the marina, Birgu and Bormla. The hotel restaurant and bar are operated by Maltese restaurateur Chris Hammett. Above: Freedom Day graffiti found inside the hotel
