More or less formal jobs with AMLO? This is how the creation of new positions goes

By contrasting with the same period of Peña Nieto's six-year termthat is, November 2012 versus March 2018, the number of jobs generated It was 3,492,061 positions, a figure much higher than that of AMLO.

Formal jobs under López Obrador registered a significant negative impact due to Covid-19, because in the first year (from February 2021 to the same month of 2021), and which was the most restrictive in activities, 1,925,971 positions were lost.

According to a report from 'Mexico, how are we doing?' Regarding the impact of the pandemic on formal employment, confinement measures and the government's abandonment of economic support resulted in a greater impact on three key sectors: commerce, restaurants and accommodation services, and various services.

The loss of formal jobs in these sectors totaled 729,582, which represents 75% of the positions destroyed by the economic recession in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.

But if you compare the creation of formal jobs that AMLO has with the six-year term of Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, is slightly olderbecause when contrasting November 2006 against March 2012, 1,714,365 positions were generated.

The Calderón Hinojosa administration also went through an adverse moment that affected formal employment: the economic crisis of 2008, which was unleashed by the recession in the United States.

The complete x-ray of the generation of formal jobs with López Obrador will be available at the end of September of this year, since this year, unlike others, he will leave office on October 1.

But for the first 3 months of 2024 there is already an outline, the formal job creation has slowed compared to 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, 264,959 have been generated, a figure lower than the 423,384 positions in the same period of 2023.
