Costa Rica Recovers All Jobs Lost During Crisis

In examining the number of workers who have health insurance with the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (Costa Rica’s Social Security Fund) 57,000 more workers have been employed between September 2009 and April 2010 with private sector showing the strongest improvement, almost 8,000 jobs were lost during the same period in the previous year.

This data includes the private sector, public sector, households with domestic servants and the self-employed who insure themselves with the CAJA

All sectors have shown improvements in the number of jobs created, however the construction sector remains very quiet or ‘muy tranquilo.’.
