In the annual period from November 2024 to November 2025, employment increased by 194,130 positions, equivalent to a rate of 0.9 percent. The government has emphasized the quality of employment.
"Considering that in December, around 1.7% of jobs are typically destroyed due to seasonal factors, the year could close with a creation of close to 210,000 positions, practically the same level as in 2024 and the weakest result since previous recession episodes," they added.
With this result, the federal government highlighted that the country reached a new all-time high in employment, with 22,837 million jobs affiliated with the Social Security system at the end of November, the highest figure on record.
The data was presented by the director general of IMSS, Zoé Robledo, during the morning conference led by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
If these positions are excluded, job creation in 2025 would be around 449,000 positions.
In November, 48,595 new formal jobs were generated, extending the monthly growth of this type of employment for five consecutive months.
Of the total registered positions, 86.7% are permanent, which corresponds to about 19.8 million workers with stable contracts.
According to IMSS, this salary has increased by about 7% in the last twelve months.
According to IMSS, this is also the highest level of permanent employment observed in any month.
Formal employment grows in October and marks a new all-time high.
Another highlighted point was female participation.
Zoé Robledo stated that with the recent increase in the minimum wage announced by the president, this indicator will continue to grow.
An analysis by Grupo Financiero Base warns that despite the record in total employment levels, the pace of creation has weakened.
Between January and November, the accumulated increase is less than in the same period of 2024 and represents the weakest job creation for that period since years associated with economic crises.

Base emphasizes that a significant part of recent employment is linked to the digital platforms pilot program.
Of the jobs affiliated with IMSS, 9.2 million correspond to women, 40.4% of the total.
In terms of wages, the average contribution base salary stood at 624.9 pesos per day in November.
