</ul></div> Data registered by the National Public Employment Service for the months of May and June 2020 show that Furlough Schemes were predominantly used in the service sector, particularly in commerce and the food and beverage services. To a lesser extent, Furlough Schemes were also used in professional and administrative services, education, sports, culture, social services, manufacturing and construction. Restrictions and limitations being loosened and then lifted after lockdown and the gradual return to ‘new normal life’ from May 2020, led in all cases to a drop in uptakes by June 2020.
Data on companies using Furlough Schemes, as well as on employees who received unemployment benefits as a result of being affected by this mechanism, show that the vast majority were due to force majeure and job suspension in the second quarter of 2020, with far fewer being used for objective reasons or to allow partial unemployment. The maps show that Furlough Schemes were more commonly used in areas of Spain where the local economy is largely based on the service sector, in general, and the food and beverage services, in particular.
