FX.co ★ Mexico’s Unemployment Rate Slips to 2.6% in April, Hitting New 2026 Low

Mexico’s labor market showed further improvement in April 2026, as the national unemployment rate eased to 2.60%, down from 2.80% in March 2026.

The April reading marks a new low for the year, signaling continued resilience in employment conditions. The decline from March suggests more Mexicans found work or remained employed during the month, even as global economic uncertainty has weighed on many emerging markets.

The figures, updated on 28 May 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as they assess the strength of domestic demand and the overall health of the Mexican economy heading into the middle of the year.
