Data from the official household survey in Colombia (GEIH in Spanish) show that, as of February 2025, employment continued to grow at an annual rate of 3.9%. This is primarily attributed to better employment dynamics within rural sectors, which expanded at a 4.9% rate. Regarding the dynamics and effects of remote work, results show that in the post-pandemic period job vacancies for remote positions increased 4.4%. Although there is no evidence that teleworking affects wage increases, it appears to improve the efficiency of job matching in the labor market.
