Juarez and Chihuahua are expected to continue ranking on the top positions of new employment in Mexico, with growth rates of 18% and 16% respectively. According to Alfredo Ruiz, representative from Manpower, both municipalities lost one point in comparison to last year’s record of the same trimester, since SMEs were rather static during June and September. The manufacturing sector is bound to maintain the greatest growth rates in Chihuahua, mainly in the automotive industry, due to the U.S. economic growth, said Ruiz.
