401,000 jobs lost between January and September

The national labor market is experiencing a significant contraction, marking the first net loss of jobs since 2020. The data reveal a critical divergence: the informal sector is drastically reducing its workforce, while the formal sector is generating only minimal new positions. This situation contrasts with expectations of GDP growth, suggesting that current macroeconomic gains are not translating into sustainable, high-quality employment opportunities. The economy may remain in a cautious environment due to weakness in investment and domestic consumption. High informality persists as a structural indicator that obscures the true quality of available jobs. Experts warn that unless economic activity consolidates more homogeneous growth, job creation will remain limited, directly affecting the well-being of the employed population and their purchasing power. This article is crucial for open data, as it demonstrates how the transparent and timely publication of official statistics enables public auditing of economic policies. By making these indicators accessible, transparency is fostered and critical analysis by researchers and citizens is enabled, allowing them to cross-reference official reports with other variables to assess the true state of employment and demand greater government accountability.
