The labor market in Coahuila has undergone significant shifts. Initially, industrial centers experienced historic lows in labor turnover, with rates in the Central region dropping below 1%. Union leaders attributed this to longer job tenure and a cautious hiring climate influenced by trade tariffs and production levels. During this period, the state health system also identified a “burnout epidemic,” with the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) recording over 1,200 burnout consultations, particularly in Torreón, Piedras Negras, and Saltillo.

Subsequently, the economic outlook showed signs of growth. IMSS data indicated that Coahuila generated over 10,000 new formal jobs in July, ranking it third nationally for monthly job creation. The state also led the country in labor formality at 65.8 percent. Alongside employment gains, the tourism sector in Saltillo reported an increase in visitors during the summer period, supported by upcoming business and logistics summits.
