This Monday, the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security published its report on the situation and evolution of the registered work (SIPA) corresponding to April. The population with work registered in the country reached 12,848 million people, which represented a variation of +0.1% compared to the previous month (14.6 thousand more people). But if we compare to November 2023, Since Milei assumed, 183,447 formal jobs were lost.
2. In April almost 13,000 new registered workers were added, mainly in the private sector. The accumulated fall since November 2023 was cut to 183,447, with a very marginal recovery in relation to the minimum of mid -2024 pic.twitter.com/vKiVQ7ULoT

As for the Restain salary, accumulates 4 consecutive months of falling in the year. From January to April 2025, the average loss between private and public sector workers was 5.5%. With the projected data of May based on collective agreements, the salary fell again in that month. Thus, assets are already 1.4% below November 2023, when the Government Javier Milei assumed, according to the specialist Luis Campos.
Public employees were the ones who had the greatest loss in their remuneration. According to Campos, the average salary setback of public workers was 15% and within them the National State came to lose more than 30% of their salary since Milei assumed.
9. For the public sector the situation is completely different. The salary setback since the end of 2023 is very important and arrives, on average, at 15.5%. In the case of the national state the fall is shocking: against November 2023 it was 31.6% pic.twitter.com/er7rhoHMpE

Among them are the claims of the workers of the Garrahan hospital and national hospitals, the university teachers and auxiliaries, the drainage of national ministries and organizations, among many others.
Among the 12.8 million workers registered in the country, 10 million correspond to formal employees (including the private sector, the public sector and work in private homes) and 2.7 million to independent work (monotributistas and autonomous).
As for the private ones, a “saw” situation has been giving up and falling since July 2024, after suffering a loss of 174,000 jobs since August 2023. The “Serrucho” growth of July 2024 was just 30 thousand jobs, a rhythm that barely accompanies the growth of the population.
Disagging by sector, Commerce was the best performance in work creation, 24,295 positions since November 2023. Industry, on the other hand, lost 32,455 jobs in the same period.
On the other hand, work in private homes fell a monthly 0.3% and accumulates a decrease of 3% year -on -year, reflecting the crisis in employers’ homes. “In April 2025, the number of workers registered in the sector was the lowest of the last 12 years,” said Campos.
In relation to public workers, the bleeding was arrested in April, however since December 2023 the loss of jobs was 55,706, most of them workers of the national state.
Unemployment in the first quarter of the year was 7.9%, just 0.2 points more than the same period of 2024. According to the specialist Luis Campos, unemployment did not grow so much because the account of informal propism grew. “The one who grew the most is the one who does not even have to pay the monotax,” he said.
According to Campos, approximately one third of the monotax growth in the last 12 years are covering up dependency labor relations. Of the remaining two thirds, he assured that the precariousness of the formal market is also an incentive for the growth of informal work. In other words, bad remuneration and poor working conditions in the registered sector leads people to decide to lose labor rights (retirement, bonus, vacations, etc.) to be autonomous and “dispose of their time” with some changa and/or app.
Milei and the right seek labor reform to advance on labor rights, with the excuse that the decline of the “labor cost” (yes, for the government workers are not people, they are costs) will generate more investment and more jobs.
But the truth is that the loss of labor rights and salary loss in the last 12 years only brought conditions of greater precariousness and degradation, and greater increase in unemployment and multiple. Policies applied by the different government with the complicity of the union centrals that did not call the great business chambers and their officials on duty truly.
The fighting of the workers of the Garrahan hospital and that of the retirees who obtained a first triumph with the extension of the moratorium and the retirement and bonus increase, marks the way. This Thursday, July 17, since 4:30 p.m., there are tens the organizations that join the adjustment. Workers of the Santiago River Shipyard, Aeronautics, UATRE, Retirees, Georgalos, SECCO, residents, not one less, among many others. The unity of all the struggles strengthens the fight to throw down the economic plan of Milei and the IMF.
