Mexico
Unemployment rate
The rate of unemployment in Mexico probably fell to 4.6% during November, according to the median forecast by experts, from 4.78% in October and 5.08% in September. If so, this would be the lowest jobless rate since December 2013, when it was reported at 4.25%. It represents the percentage of the eligible work force that is unemployed, but is actively seeking employment. The rate of unemployment also reflects overall economic state in the country, as there is a strong correlation between consumer spending levels and labor market conditions. Low rates of unemployment are accompanied by stronger spending, which causes a favorable effect on corporate profits and also leads to overall growth acceleration. Therefore, in case the rate of unemployment decreased more than expected, this would have a bullish effect on the local currency. Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía is to announce the official rate at 14:00 GMT.
