2026.06.3013:00:00UTC+00Chile’s Unemployment Rate Ticks Up to 9.4% in May 2026

Chile’s labor market showed renewed signs of strain in May 2026, as the national unemployment rate edged up to 9.4%, compared with 9.1% recorded in April 2026.

The latest figure, updated on 30 June 2026, indicates a modest deterioration in employment conditions over the month. While the increase of 0.3 percentage points is not dramatic, it suggests that job creation is not keeping pace with labor supply, and may raise concerns among policymakers and investors tracking the resilience of Chile’s economy.

Market participants will be watching upcoming labor data closely to assess whether May’s uptick proves temporary or signals a more persistent weakening in the country’s employment outlook.
