Argentina celebrates that the exchange rate was built. Of course, welcome to normal! What in any developed country is a basic right, in Argentina it is lived as a revolution.
Well for President Milei for taking a measure that Mauricio Macri had anticipated in 2015: the need to sincere the economy. But be careful, let’s not confuse the stocks with having a healthy economy.
Because while markets celebrate and dollars flow more freedom, there is a variable that remains broken: employment.
The president speaks of “trusted shock” for investors, but what we need is a shock of productive activity. Private formal employment fell for the sixth consecutive month, employers are collapsed and half of the new positions are for a certain time. Companies and employers negotiate disconnections before investing, and young people, especially in AMBA, do not even dream of job stability.
The work in the world advances at a speed that imposes the futuristic situation: automation, artificial intelligence, digital platforms, knowledge economy. But in Argentina we continued anchored in the last century, as if the future had not touched the door.
While the world speaks of green jobs, hybrid works and labor conversion, we continue to discuss whether or not to register the worker.
For more than eight years that Argentina stagnated with 6 million formal private wage earners. Eight years. Three governments. Hundreds of speeches. And the figure is still nailed, as if the time had stopped. It is not about statistics: it is an economy that does not generate genuine employment.
The Argentine productive model was old, rusty and increasingly far from the train of development. Without real incentives to hire, without relief for which he invests, without a horizon for which he works.
And in this context, lifting the stock is not enough. Because the structural stock is in the labor market. And that, president, is not taken with a DNU or dollars from the IMF. It is removed with active employment policies, with development incentives, with a modern vision of work. Something that, until now, is not seen.
Meanwhile, the government takes debt. Not only with the IMF, but now with the workers themselves: debt in salaries, as employment, in social protection. And there is no plan. Only adjustment.
He does not leave hell without work. And there is no freedom if half of the country lives in fear of losing employment.
The Milei model so far releases the dollar, but contains the one that produces and gives growth to the labor market.
Argentina needs a modern, future inclusive, intelligent labor reform. Not to make more flexible, but to integrate. Not to precarize, but to formalize. The labor market needs a state policy, not an Excel form.
The most alarming is not only what they do, but what they don’t say. We never listen to any government official to speak seriously of employers, private employment, labor conversion, of the future of work. Not a word about artificial intelligence, automation or new skills. Or they don’t understand it, or they don’t care. And both options are equally dangerous.
Because the engine of the Argentine economy is not the macro, it is not the dollar, it is not the rate of the BCRA. It is work. They are the thousands of hundreds of employers, merchants, autonomous, monotributistas and dependents who hold this country every day with real effort. The macro is the map, but work is the way.
You can have fiscal balance, rising reservations and well buried stocks. But if there is no job, there is no future. Because without work, there is no freedom, there is no progress, there is no country.
Leave the stock is fine. But do not cover our eyes: while the dollar flies, employment falls.
