Colombia’s urban unemployment rate inched higher in March 2026, rising to 9.4% from 9.2% in February 2026, according to the latest data updated on 30 April 2026.
The marginal increase suggests a slight weakening in urban labor market conditions over the month, following February’s lower reading. While still below double-digit levels, the March figure points to persistent challenges in absorbing jobseekers in Colombia’s cities as the year progresses.
Analysts and market participants will be watching the upcoming releases closely to see whether the March uptick marks the start of a gradual upward trend in urban unemployment or a temporary pause after February’s improvement.
