After two years of a steady recovery of labour markets in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America and the Caribbean, in the first quarter of 2023, labour market performance weakened in a context of slow growth.

This twenty-ninth edition of Employment Situation in Latin America and the Caribbean anaylses the dynamics that connect the labou…

Después de dos años de sostenida recuperación de los mercados laborales tras el impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en América Latina y el Caribe, durante el primer trimestre de 2023, en un entorno económico con menor crecimiento, el desempeño de los mercados laborales también ha mostrado un menor dinamismo. Además, se espera que la desaceleración económica regional, que probablemente se intensificará a partir del segundo semestre de 2023, implique mayores dificultades para que la tasa de ocupación siga aumentando, y para que crezcan el empleo asalariado y formal.

The United States economy expanded by 5.2% in the third quarter of 2023, the fastest pace in nearly two years. Consumer spending was the main driver of economic growth in the quarter, followed by accumulation of private inventories. The third quarter marked the fifth consecutive quarter of growth above the economy’s potential. Labour market growth remained solid, with 2.6 million jobs added from January to November 2023, but is easing. Inflation is also gradually slowing. Despite interest rate hikes in 2022 and in the first half of 2023, the United States economy —supported by a strong job mar…
