Informe de empleo de EE.UU.: nóminas de febrero caen 92.000 en medio de la desaceleración

El informe de empleo de febrero de 2026 de la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales reveló una caída de 92.000 en las nóminas no agrícolas —la segunda peor caída mensual en tres años—, revirtiendo el aumento revisado de 126.000 de enero y extendiendo la desaceleración desde el incremento de 50.000 de diciembre. Publicado el 7 de marzo, los datos mostraron un aumento de 0,1 puntos porcentuales en el desempleo en un mercado laboral de baja contratación y bajos despidos.

Esta caída aumenta la incertidumbre en el panorama económico y de políticas, en contraste con las recientes señales de recuperación y complicando las evaluaciones del mercado laboral. El informe subraya los persistentes desafíos en el empleo a pesar de cierta estabilidad.
