At the end of 2019
Number of persons working in the Regional Government of Madeira stood at 19,610
According to the data released by the Directorate-General for Administration and Public Employment (DGAEP) on the latest issue of SIEP (Synthesis of Public Employment Statistics), there were 19,610 persons working in the Regional Government of Madeira (RGM) at 31/12/2019. Compared to the previous quarter, the change was +191 (+1.0%), and the year-on-year increase was 337 (+1.7%). Compared to the end of 2011 there was a decrease of 1 744 persons (-8.2%).

For the second time since this information is compiled by DGAEP (year 2011), the RGM records a positive balance between incoming and outgoing of workers. This means that from 2011 until 2017 there was a consecutive drop in the number of workers in the RGM, but this trend changed in 2018, with 2019 marking a more substantial increase in the number of workers.
The estimated mean age of the workers of the Regional Government of Madeira was, in December 2018, 48.0 years (47.4 years a year earlier).
More than half of the ARM workers (57.2%) have higher education, 25.9% have only basic education and the remaining 16.9%, secondary education.
In October 2019, the average monthly basic salary was €1,478.77, up by 5.0% from a year ago, while the average monthly earnings stood at €1,708.56, a 4.2% increase from October 2018.
