"Although July is a month in which unemployment in the Region traditionally falls considerably, with an average of 2.4% for the last 10 years, the weakness of demand after the health crisis of COVID-19 and the measures imposed by the appearance of outbreaks have counteracted this seasonal pattern.
It is the worst month of July since 2008, "said Correa. "We are very concerned about the increasingly negative effect that the health crisis is having on the region's economy.
