La Prensa Libre of Guatemala published recent data on the labor market in an article.

According to the consultancy firm Manpower, hiring for the second quarter is expected to be -1, meaning that more jobs will be lost than those that are created, and job requests have increased between 45% and 50% when compared to the same period in 2008.

In relation to the characteristics of the demand, a survey conducted in a recent job fair by AmCham Guatemala found that 18.3% of the job seekers were looking for administrative work, and 12.4% were looking for "whatever." Of the candidates, 39% had university studies and 11% were professionals.
