During 2021, the 32 entities of the country generated formal jobs, although in most it derived from a rebound effect due to the losses registered in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
If the balances of the pandemic year and 2021 are considered, 25 states presented positive variations, that is, last year’s job creation exceeded the 2020 job decline.
Thus, the entity with the highest generation of formal jobs in these two years was Baja California, with a total balance of 85,502 places insured in the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), as a result of the creation of 27,952 jobs in 2020 and of 57.550 in 2021, according to data from the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare.
Baja California’s strength was the set of manufacturing industries, with 65.1% of the total generated in two years; Its Achilles heel is the services sector for companies, individuals and the home, with a negative balance of 5,551 jobs.
The second place corresponds to Nuevo León, with a total creation of 63,793 formal jobs, a consequence of the 86,364 new registrations in the IMSS in 2021 and 22,571 registrations in the year that the health contingency began.
In this case, the labor pillars were transformation industries (67,621 new jobs) and commerce (30,024), although their slopes are concentrated in three sectors: agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing and hunting (488 lost jobs); construction (5,010), and services for companies, individuals and the home (45,928).
The border states were followed by Tabasco (38,118 formal jobs created in two years), Chihuahua (37,578), Jalisco (37,300), Estado de México (24,200), Querétaro (20,757), Coahuila (12,959), Hidalgo (12,752) and Durango (11,561).
While the entities with less than 10,000 jobs generated between 2020 and 2021 and more than 3,000 were Sonora (9,844), Yucatán (9,044), Sinaloa (8,839), Nayarit (8,348), Chiapas (7,554), Guanajuato (7,520), Aguascalientes (7,238), Zacatecas (6,803), Baja California Sur (6,346), San Luis Potosí (3,664) and Tamaulipas (3,659).
Meanwhile, the territories with less than 1,000 jobs as labor balance were Morelos (1,856), Michoacán (1,494), Colima (1,349) and Tlaxcala (827); Despite the fact that these states were placed in the last places, it highlights that they have already overcome the ravages that the pandemic brought with it in the labor market.
At the other extreme, seven entities showed negative balances in these two years of analysis. The worst positioned was Mexico City, with a deficit of 157,456 jobs, as a result of the 223,379 jobs lost in 2020, which were not compensated by the 65,923 new formal jobs in 2021.
The national total resulted in a positive balance of 198,706 formal jobs.
