Mercado laboral en 2025 y después

TL;DR

  • In 2025, 791,000 new jobs were created in Colombia, a 3.4% increase from 2024.
  • The unemployment rate decreased from 10.2% to 8.9% in 2025.
  • Informality also saw a slight decrease from 55.9% to 55.7%.
  • Companies potentially used wage compression and increased sales to manage rising labor costs.
  • Decreased costs of non-labor production factors and lower interest rates also contributed to favorable conditions.
  • 2026 is predicted to be less favorable due to a significant minimum wage increase, labor reform, and reduced working hours.
