Between the second quarter of 2010 and the second quarter of 2009, Mexico's economically active population expanded by 1.43 million people. The good news is that most of them (1.31 million or 91.7% of the entrants to the labor force) found work. The bad news is the extent to which job growth is concentrated in the informal economy: the number of people working in the informal economy rose by 0.66 million, half the growth in employment. In the second quarter of 2010, 28.8% of people with jobs worked in the informal economy, a 0.7 percentage point increase compared to a year earlier.
