29.10.202612:00:00UTC+00Chile’s Jobless Rate Edges Up to 9.8% in September, Marking a Slight Deterioration in Labor Market

Chile’s unemployment rate rose to 9.8% in September 2026, up from 9.6% in August 2026, according to data updated on 29 October 2026. The slight increase signals a modest deterioration in labor market conditions as the country moves into the final quarter of the year.

While the change of 0.2 percentage points is relatively small, it suggests that job creation remains under pressure and that the labor market has yet to show a clear path toward sustained improvement. The move from 9.6% to 9.8% indicates that more people were actively seeking work and unable to find it in September compared with the previous month.

Investors and policymakers are likely to monitor upcoming data closely to assess whether this uptick in unemployment proves temporary or points to a more persistent softening in Chile’s employment landscape.
