Summary
Mexico’s manufacturing payrolls edged up 0.1% in June, ending four straight months of monthly job losses, INEGI said.
10 of 21 manufacturing sectors added workers, and the rebound narrowed the year-over-year employment drop to 1.5% from 2.1%.
Computer, communications and measurement equipment led hiring with a 3.4% increase, tied to stronger computer exports to the United States and AI-linked data infrastructure investment.
The improvement remains limited: manufacturing employment has still fallen year over year for 40 consecutive months, with layoffs persisting across 18 of 21 sectors in the first half.
