Job Fair in Southeast Juárez Offers 1,800 Vacancies Amidst Shifting Labor Market
Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, February 25, 2026 – The December 8th Stadium in Ciudad Juárez will host a significant job fair tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, 2026, offering approximately 1,800 vacancies. This event, a collaborative effort between the Municipal Government of Ciudad Juárez, through its Directorate of Economic Development, and Index Juárez, aims to connect job seekers with opportunities in the industrial and commercial sectors.
María Teresa Delgado Zárate, Vice President of Index Juárez, announced that 33 companies are participating, providing a diverse range of positions. The fair is scheduled to run from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, specifically targeting residents in the southeastern part of the city.
Vacancies Primarily in Operational and Indirect Roles
Delgado Zárate highlighted that the majority of the available positions are at operational and indirect levels. These include roles for technicians, group leaders, and quality inspectors, reflecting the ongoing demand within the local industry for these specialized skills.
In addition to these, the fair will also feature vacancies in administrative, supervisory, and engineering fields. This diverse offering is expected to attract individuals with varying levels of academic preparation and professional experience, ensuring a broad spectrum of opportunities for job seekers.
Fewer Vacancies Than Previous Years, Reflecting Market Adjustments
While acknowledging the importance of the event, Delgado Zárate noted that the total number of vacancies offered is lower compared to previous years during the same period. This reduction, she explained, indicates an adjustment in the labor demand within certain companies in the manufacturing and commercial sectors.
Despite this, she emphasized that the fair remains a crucial platform for job seekers. It provides a unique opportunity to access the job offerings of dozens of companies that maintain active operations in the city, all concentrated in one convenient location.
Call to Action for Job Seekers
Delgado Zárate extended an invitation to all individuals of working age to attend the event. Prospective attendees are encouraged to bring basic documentation and come prepared to engage with potential employers, ready to integrate into the formal labor market. She also advised against arriving overnight, as access to the fair will commence promptly at 8:00 AM.
Context: Broader Economic Landscape in Juárez
This job fair takes place against a backdrop of a dynamic labor market in Ciudad Juárez. Recent reports indicate both challenges and achievements within the city’s economy:
- Manufacturing Sector Adjustments: The maquiladora industry in Juárez closed 2025 with a loss of over 17,000 jobs, as previously reported. This job fair’s slightly reduced number of vacancies could be seen as a continued reflection of these adjustments.
- Export Growth: Despite job losses in some areas, Ciudad Juárez experienced a historical record in exports through its customs in 2025, according to Anierm, suggesting a robust trade environment.
- Company Consolidation: Companies like Hansuh are reported to be consolidated in Ciudad Juárez, indicating stability in certain industrial segments.
The job fair serves as a vital bridge between employers and the workforce, helping to navigate these shifts and ensure continued economic activity and opportunity for the residents of Ciudad Juárez.
