The INEGI report reveals growing dynamism in the Mexican construction sector, marked by a sustained increase in production and real wages during the first months of the year. This upturn suggests an economic recovery in the sector, although it coexists with a notable decline in non-dependent hiring, indicating a polarization in employment forms. The relevance of this article to open data lies in the fact that INEGI makes key statistics such as the ENEC (National Employment Survey) available, which are fundamental for economic diagnosis and forecasting. By seasonally adjusting these data, a more accurate understanding of trends is facilitated, allowing researchers and citizens to access transparent information for analyzing the country’s current economic situation. This focus on the availability and quality of public data empowers civil society to conduct rigorous analyses of critical economic variables. Transparency in construction sector information not only helps in understanding the labor market but also fosters accountability and informed decision-making based on verifiable and accessible evidence.
