Magister Alfredo Mitre, National Director of Employment of the Ministry of Labor and
Labor Development, highlighted, within the framework of the event, the importance of having
independent professionals, capable and with values to work in a
organization or to create your own company: "Today, employment opportunities
and human development are globalized. Employment and work is globalizing every
again and in 10 years when technology encompasses all jobs we will be
more globalized,” said Miter.


Likewise, he explained the tenacity of the labor force in Panama, which was seen
affected by the pandemic where there was a net unemployment of 18.5%.

two years and we managed to cover this level of unemployment. Entrepreneurship is
something good because even if it starts in an informal way it can become a
company that generates two or three or more jobs”, said the National Director of Employment
of the Ministry of Labor and Labor Development.

events with the purpose of articulating society with programs of
