American Expatriate Costa Rica

The least productive activities are the ones that generate more jobs in Costa Rica

The Twentieth State of the Nation report, presented on November 8th, pointed out a negative relationship between employment and the working sectors’ productivity.

The Nation Report stated that trade and agriculture provide a third of the national employment, but their productivity is equivalent to 50% of the average of the economy. In contrast, the ten most productive sectors only contribute with 5% of job’s opportunities.

To increase labor productivity, it is necessary to encourage the mobilization of the employed in the most dynamic sectors, but this demands more training, which will provide workers the technical and educational tools required by these sectors,

concluded the report.
