Argentina labor reform: 36k jobs lost, 6,905 firms close, informality hits 45%
PerfilLO·AR·about 24 hours ago
A report by Argentine civil society organizations and research centers claims that since the March approval of the labor reform law pushed by President Javier Milei, the country has lost 36,000 jobs and 6,900 companies have closed. The report is attributed to these groups, not official data, so the causal link to the reform is asserted but not independently verified. This matters as it could fuel political opposition to Milei's reform agenda and signal economic strain.
