Latin America's unemployment rate in 2023 is near a decade low at 6.3%, but an economic slowdown in 2024 may reverse this trend, with potential increases in unemployment to 6.5% to 6.8% next year. The International Labor Organization (ILO) warns of this potential reversal due to the expected economic slowdown, which could lead to the creation of informal jobs lacking the benefits of formal employment.
