According to data released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Mato Grosso achieved the lowest unemployment rate in Brazil in 2025, registering an impressive 2.2%. This figure is significantly lower than the national average of 5.6%, which itself is a decrease from the 6.6% recorded in 2024. The report, based on the Continuous National Household Sample Survey, indicates that the state had approximately 50,000 unemployed individuals from October to December 2025, marking a 3.7% reduction compared to the previous year.

The analysis shows notable differences in unemployment rates between genders, with women experiencing a rate of 3.2% and men at a remarkably low 1.5%. Additionally, the average income in Mato Grosso reached R$ 3,688 in 2025, showing a slight increase from 2024. This positive trend reflects an ongoing economic recovery in the region, particularly following a period of decline starting in 2022. It suggests that initiatives to improve the local economy may be effective in reducing unemployment.

The continuous decline in the unemployment rate since 2022 highlights the effectiveness of economic policies and job creation programs in Mato Grosso. As the state continues to maintain its low unemployment rate, it could serve as a model for other regions in Brazil grappling with higher unemployment figures. The overall economic landscape in Mato Grosso appears to be improving, which may attract more businesses and investments to the state, further boosting its economy and job market in the coming years.
