If the absenteeism rate in the Canary Islands is broken down by sector, for services it is 6,3% (+0,8 p.p. year-on-year) and is positioned as the Canary Islands sector with the highest rate, but the fourth lowest in the autonomous region as a whole for services.

The south of Gran Canaria has a work absenteeism rate of 6%, the third lowest in all of Spain, after a drop of 1,39 percentage points in the last quarter, the most pronounced drop in the rest of the autonomous communities, and is below the Spanish average, which is 7%.
