Presenting a new edition of the Labor Monitor, with an updated assessment for the first half of the year and data of the Advice 2026 Labor Outlook Survey. 

• In the first half of 2026, labor demand fell by 6.6% compared with 2025. While the national economy is going through a phase of low growth, the labor market is contracting: there are fewer job opportunities than a year ago, but a possible improvement is projected for the second half of the year. 
• 2026 Workplace Outlook Survey. 6 out of 10 workers feel that the job market has deteriorated in the last year. Faced with a more adverse outlook, most remain in their jobs, expecting better opportunities; only 1 in 4 feel committed to their current employment. Salary is the main factor for change: 7 out of 10 workers who are not looking to change jobs would do so for a better economic offer.
