Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Mexico is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of labour force, people aged 15 and over · INEGI, National Occupation and Employment Survey (ENOE), quarterly, by state, not seasonally adjusted · state data · as of Apr 2026.
