Mexico formal employment record 23 million jobs Sheinbaum: Mexico Reaches Record 23 Million Formal Jobs: President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that formal employment registered with the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) reached a historic high of 23,088,353 in October 2026, with 161,077 jobs added during the month and 299,180 more than a year earlier.
Mexico formal employment record 23 million jobs Sheinbaum, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico): President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the government reached a new historic high of 23,088,353 formal jobs registered with the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS). She called the figure extraordinary news and a very positive indicator of the country’s labor performance.
Speaking from the National Palace, the president said the IMSS would release the official figures at midday, but stressed that October 2026 closed with the largest number of formal jobs in Mexico’s history. She said 161,077 jobs were generated in October, a monthly increase of 0.7%.
Between January and October of this year, 571,277 new jobs were accumulated, a gain of 2.5%. The annual comparison also showed growth, with 299,180 jobs added between October 2025 and October 2026, an increase of 1.3%.
The president noted that the IMSS will publish the full report with details on formal employment at the close of October. The reported figure places formal employment above previous records and reflects more workers enrolled in social security over the past year.
Monthly employment also rose more than in September, when the IMSS counted 22,927,276 jobs. With the October figure, enrollment increased by roughly 161,000 positions and surpassed 23 million for the first time.
The October figure is the central data point of the labor report presented by the president, setting a new historic maximum in the number of formal jobs registered with social security. In October 2025, the IMSS had reported 22,789,173 jobs.
The annual comparison is relevant because it helps reduce the effect of seasonal variations, such as temporary hiring that often occurs in certain months. The IMSS reported that 217,491 jobs were created in October 2025, more than the 161,077 recorded in October 2026.
Therefore, the current record refers to the total number of enrolled jobs, not the largest monthly job creation in Mexico’s history.
