The island's primary corporation, the Cabildo, remains the entity with the largest number of staff, recording 1,256 direct professional hires active by the end of March. This is equivalent to an average of 7.5 public workers per thousand legal inhabitants on the island.

At the municipal level, Arrecife leads with 487 hires, translating to 6.9 positions per thousand residents. In contrast, Haría, with 106 hires, shows the highest proportion relative to its population, reaching 18.9 positions per thousand residents.
