NUEVO LEON – For the second consecutive month, Nuevo León was positioned as the leading state in employment generation at the national level, according to figures from the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS).

“Nuevo León is in fashion, Nuevo León is on everyone’s lips and today we confirm it with these historic records in job generation,” said the governor.
The sectors that registered the highest growth in job creation during February were: Manufacturing with 7,428 jobs, followed by Commerce with 4,205 positions and Business Services with 2,875 vacancies.
