Employment X-ray in 2026: 100,000 private jobs lost and the monotribute rises

The article discusses the state of employment in Argentina during early 2026, highlighting continued signs of weakness in the labor market despite some economic stabilization. It reports that private sector jobs decreased by 100,000 compared to the previous year, while more people are working additional hours or seeking second jobs to meet income needs. The unemployment rate remained stable at 7.8%, and underemployment increased slightly to 11.1%. The 'labor pressure' indicator, which includes both unemployed individuals and those seeking more work, stood at 23.6%, affecting over 5.3 million people. The report emphasizes that although economic stability has prevented further deterioration, there remains insufficient growth to improve the labor market significantly. Regional disparities are noted, with Córdoba leading in labor dissatisfaction.
