30.09.202612:00:00UTC+00Chile’s Unemployment Edges Up to 9.6% in August 2026

Chile’s unemployment rate inched higher to 9.6% in August 2026, up from 9.5% recorded in July 2026, according to the latest data updated on 30 September 2026.

The marginal increase suggests that labour market conditions remain fragile, with unemployment holding close to the 10% threshold. While the move from 9.5% to 9.6% is slight, it may indicate that job creation is not keeping pace with labour supply, pointing to a still-challenging environment for workers seeking employment in Chile.

Market observers and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to assess whether August’s rise marks the beginning of a trend or a temporary fluctuation around persistently elevated unemployment levels.
