Annual unemployment rate in Colombia; percent of the labour force, 2024 and 2025.
Colombia’s annual unemployment rate fell from 10.2% in 2024 to 8.9% in 2025. Both values use DANE’s comparable national household-survey series. The annual decline was 1.3 percentage points, equal to a 12.7% reduction in the rate. The separate December 2025 reading of 8.0% is a monthly observation and should not replace the annual average without relabelling.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2024 | 10.2% | 2024 |
| 2 | 2025 | 8.9% | 2025 |

Evidence: Supports the 2024 and 2025 annual unemployment rates, the December 2025 rate and employment change.
Annual averages and monthly observations are different periods. DANE's current series is comparable from 2001 and was rebenchmarked to the 2018 census.
Compares DANE's annual average unemployment rates for 2024 and 2025 and retains the December 2025 rate only as a separately labelled support metric.
The two focal rates use the same DANE survey family, annual period and labour-force denominator concept.
