The health crisis associated with COVID-19 has put governments and societies around the world to the test, unprecedented causing economic slowdown, unemployment, and concomitant  loss of income among the working class.  Relying on data released by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography’s (INEGI) National Survey of Occupation and Employment  (ENOE), the Economic Impact of COVID-19 on Companies Survey (ECOVID-IE)  and its COVID-19 and Labor Market Telephone Survey (ECOVID-ML), in conjunction with public data from the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), a picture of the impact of COVID-19 on employment in Mexico becomes clear, evidencing substantial recovery of labor occupation in the country once confinement measures were relaxed. Nonetheless, it is necessary to implement public policies aimed at mitigating the economic damage done to Mexican families because of the pandemic.
