In the fourth quarter of 2025, the unemployment rate in Acre was reported at 6.4%, reflecting a decline of 1.1 percentage points compared to the previous quarter, according to data released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). This rate is among the lowest registered since the start of the historical series in 2012 and points to a positive trend in the labor market in the region. Nationally, the unemployment rate was recorded at 5.1%, indicating a similar downward movement across Brazil.

The data also highlights disparities within the local job market, particularly the unemployment rate among women in Acre, which stood at 7.9%, compared to 5.7% for men. These figures suggest that while there have been improvements in overall employment levels, certain demographics, particularly women, are still facing higher unemployment challenges. This outcome emphasizes the need for targeted policies and programs to support women's integration into the workforce.

Furthermore, the report shows that educational attainment plays a crucial role in employment opportunities. Individuals with incomplete high school education are significantly more likely to experience unemployment, underscoring the importance of educational advancement and vocational training as essential components in addressing unemployment within the region. Overall, while Acre's labor market shows positive trends, continued efforts will be necessary to ensure equitable employment opportunities for all residents, particularly among underrepresented groups such as women and low-educated workers.
