2026.07.1515:00:00UTC+00Peru’s Unemployment Rate Falls to 4.9% in June 2026

Peru’s labor market showed signs of improvement in early winter, as the national unemployment rate declined to 4.9% in June 2026 from 5.3% in May 2026. The latest figure, updated on 15 July 2026, indicates a 0.4 percentage point drop over the month.

The move from 5.3% to 4.9% suggests that more Peruvians found work in June, easing conditions in the job market after May’s higher reading. While the underlying drivers of the decline are not detailed in the current release, the data point to an improving employment situation heading into the second half of 2026.

With June’s numbers now confirmed, analysts and policymakers will be watching upcoming labor market reports closely to assess whether this downward trend in unemployment can be sustained in the months ahead.
