Colombia’s urban unemployment rate increased to 8.5% in July 2026, up from 8.0% in June 2026, according to data updated on 31 August 2026. The latest figures point to a setback in the labor market following the improvement seen in June.

The 0.5 percentage point rise suggests that urban labor conditions weakened over the month, potentially reflecting slower hiring or shifts in seasonal employment patterns. While the data capture only a one-month change, the uptick in joblessness will likely be closely watched by policymakers and investors monitoring the resilience of Colombia’s urban economies in the second half of 2026.
