The chart shows the trend in Mexico's open unemployment rate and in its 10 complementary unemployment indicators during 1990-98. All complementary indicators show higher unemployment rates for Mexico throughout the period. Also, though all unemployment indicators rose during the 1995 economic crisis, all have come down since then so that, in general, it can said that Mexico's overall unemployment situation improved since 1995.
