Until last August, Tabasco had registered 243,907 jobs with social security, one of the best figures in its history, although below the 245,443 jobs that were reported last May.
The southern state experienced this boom thanks to the construction of the Dos Bocas refinery, an emblematic project of the obradorista administration.
“Tabasco was a state that was very affected by oil activity and with Dos Bocas it rebounded very quickly,” said Gabriela Siller, director of financial economic analysis at Banco BASE.
The specialist highlighted that after the completion of one of the most important works for the federal government, this trend in job creation will go down: Since last June, Quintana Roo surpassed Tabasco as the entity that reports the most growth in jobs with social Security.
With the start of operations of the refinery from On September 1 Janneth Quiroz, director of analysis at Monex, hopes that this dynamism in employment can resume forward growth.
Quinta Roo has been able to steal the podium from Tabasco thanks to tourism, the experts agree. “There have been great efforts by the government to boost tourism, after this sector was hit hardest by the pandemic,” Quiroz said.
