According to the ENOE, in May 2026 the Economically Active Population (EAP) was 62.1 million people , an annual increase of 460,000 people.

By gender, the economic participation rate for women was 45.8% and for men 74.2%. Compared to May 2025, women’s participation was very similar, while men’s decreased by 0.7 percentage points.

The employed population reached 60.4 million people (97.2% of the economically active population), an annual growth of 438,000.

By sector of economic activity, the employed population was distributed as follows: services concentrated 26.8 million people (44.4%); commerce 12 million (19.9%); manufacturing industry 9.8 million (16.2%); agriculture, livestock, forestry, hunting and fishing 6 million (10%); construction 4.9 million (8%); and other economic activities —which include mining, electricity, water and gas supply— 381 thousand (0.6%) in the cycle.

In the reference month,  the unemployed population was 1.7 million people , representing an annual increase of 22,000.

The economically inactive population (EIP) was 43 million people , an increase of 949,000 people compared to May 2025.

In May 2026, the  underemployed population —people who reported needing and being available to work more hours than their current job demands—was 4.2 million, 40,000 fewer than in May 2025.  The underemployment rate stood at 7%  of the employed population, a decrease from 7.1% to that recorded in May 2025.

According to the ENOE results, in May 2026 employment in Mexico showed growth compared to the same month in 2025; however, there was also an increase in employment in the informal sector.

In the logistics sector, the annual decline has been felt more acutely , indicating a slowdown in the labor market in this industry associated with a slowed Mexican economy.

In response, the logistics industry has shown resilience and continues to be driven by the growth of activities such as e-commerce, which demands more warehousing and transportation services .

This increase in logistics is in line with the rise that the ENOE recorded in April 2026, which was 62.1 million people in the Economically Active Population (EAP) , an annual increase of 669,000 people.

By gender, the employment of women was 24.8 million (an annual increase of 494,000) and that of men was 35.8 million (an annual increase of 210,000).

By sector of economic activity, the employed population was distributed as follows: services accounted for 26.8 million people (44.2%); commerce 11.7 million (19.3%); manufacturing industry 10 million (16.4%); agriculture, livestock, forestry, hunting and fishing 6.1 million (10.1%); construction 5.2 million (8.6%); and other economic activities —which include mining, electricity, water and gas supply— 330 thousand (0.5%).

Meanwhile,  informal workers  in April totaled 33.4 million, and the rate of informal employment stood at 55.2% of the employed population.

The ENOE figures are presented in a context of uncertainty due to the United States’ tariff policy, which has spread globally and has affected various productive sectors in Mexico and, consequently, the employment rate.

The increase in jobs in the logistics industry reflects the importance of this sector to the country’s economy, especially given the rise of e-commerce, which demands more warehousing and transportation services.

Given this, the logistics industry continues to undergo a period of readjustment due to the growth of activities such as e-commerce, which has been one of its drivers, with the demand for more warehousing and transportation services .
