Chile’s unemployment rate has increased again, now reaching 8.8%
Chile’s unemployment rate has increased again, now reaching 8.8%. This is 0.9% higher than the same time last year.
This is the ninth time in a row that the unemployment rate has increased.
Some areas of work, like health, trade, and public administration, saw more people losing jobs than others.
On the other hand, fewer people were losing construction jobs, households as employers, and real estate activities.
Men and women were almost equally affected, with men seeing an 8.6% unemployment rate and women seeing a 9% rate.

This continued increase in unemployment is worrying, especially considering the global economic problems caused by the pandemic.
The government and private companies must work together to create more jobs, help people develop new skills, and support the most affected industries.
This is important for the well-being of the people in Chile and for the country’s economy as a whole.
The pandemic has made it hard for many businesses to recover, leading to fewer job opportunities and more competition for available jobs.
It has also changed the types of jobs in demand, with more people working remotely and needing digital skills.
This has made it difficult for some workers to find jobs.
It will be important to address these challenges and create new job opportunities and helping workers develop the skills they need for the changing job market.
