Overview

In June 2026 Querétaro’s formal employment total reached 722,938 workers, a monthly drop of 416 jobs but a 0.96 % year‑on‑year increase (6,859 positions) that remains below the national 2 % average. The labour market stays highly concentrated in the municipality of Querétaro (≈61 % of jobs) with El Marqués, San Juan del Río and Corregidora together accounting for about 90 % of all formal positions. The state continues to lead national labour‑quality rankings, topping the Índice de Competitividad Estatal for labour quality and recording the lowest labour‑poverty rate at 19.8 %. Governor Mauricio Kuri González reiterated that clear, predictable legal rules are essential for investor confidence and job creation, noting Querétaro’s fourth‑place ranking in absolute job creation nationwide and warning that legal uncertainty could cost up to 100,000 jobs. He urged lawyers to uphold professional integrity amid AI‑driven and institutional change. The administration launched the Digital Investment Window, a single‑window portal designed to complete all company‑setup procedures online within four months while preserving regulatory oversight. About 68 % of state processes are already digitised; the target is 80 % by year‑end and full digitalisation the following year, with technical support from the OECD, which outlined 408 actions to create an interoperable digital file, enable online payments and remote inspections. The complementary “Cerebro Querétaro” system will integrate agency data to improve decision‑making, citizen services, competitiveness, innovation and further job creation. In July 2026 state officials pressed the federal government for technical data on the complementary works linked to the Mexico‑Querétaro high‑speed rail project, noting preliminary approval for 28 of 42 works in San Juan del Río, Pedro Escobedo, El Marqués and Querétaro municipality.
