(*) Rate of Growth measured as the value at 2002 minus the value at 1998, divided by the value at 1998.
1998 to 2002 was a good period for industrial employment in Spain, increasing 7.2 points
during those 5 years. The number of people employed in the industrial sector grew in every
Spanish region, but the differences were very significant: Two very important regions, Madrid
and Catalonia, had rates which were less than half of the national mean; at the same time,
some less industrialised regions grew at very high rates: Extremadura increased its industrial
employment by 16.7%; Murcia by 18.7%; Castilla-La Mancha by 13.9%; and Asturias by
13.7%. Figure 4 graphs the results for all the Spanish regions.
