* Mexico’s social security institute (IMSS) has reported that 136,000 new formal jobs were created in the country in September. The September formal job figure brings the accumulated number of formal jobs created this year to 812,292, the highest ever job creation figure reported for the first nine months of a year. The IMSS also noted that the September formal job figure brings the total number of formal jobs created during the incumbent administration led by President Enrique Peña Nieto, which assumed office in December 2012, to 3.13m. This is 2.3 times more than the total number of formal jobs created under the previous administration led by Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) and the highest number of jobs created under any other previous government.
