BBVA Research warns of the loss of steam in the labor reform to reduce temporary employment. Economists and labor activists estimate that 2.2 million of the new workers had a discontinuous permanent contract at some point in 2022.
While job creation was maintained in the last quarter of 2023, employment advanced at a slower pace and grew in this last phase of the year mainly due to the pull of the public sector and the self-employed, as warned this Thursday by the quarterly Labor Market Observatory.
