Diagram 1 presents the distribution of the number of queries between 2019-2021. The figures show a consistent increase in the general number of queries due to a large rise in the number of queries submitted to the Unit by employers. This number testifies to greater awareness among foreign workers, both about their rights and the possibility of receiving assistance in exercising these rights from the Commissioner's Unit.
