In early 2024, about 1.1 million Argentinians found themselves jobless, pushing the unemployment rate to 7.7%, according to INDEC. This current rate marks a noticeable rise from late 2023’s 5.7%. It also represents an uptick of 0.8 percentage points year over year. Since mid-2021, joblessness hasn’t soared this high. At that time, the nation struggled to rebound from COVID-19’s economic shocks.
