Abstract

Labor market dynamics in the District of Barrancabermeja have been characterized over the years by a strong industrial and oil base, which has acted as the main economic activity in the city, but which, in turn, has been marked by a high incidence of indicators such as unemployment and labor informality, thus presenting an economic reality very specific to the region. This document covers a study of the labor market with the objective of analyzing the perception of entrepreneurs and workers' organizations on the employment policies implemented in Barrancabermeja in the period between 2018 and 2022, through a comparative matrix that allows establishing similarities and differences between the results of indicators and the perception of labor market actors, highlighting the scenarios prior to the pandemic and the subsequent economic reactivation in the territory, for which the research is established through a qualitative approach of descriptive type, collecting first-hand information for the application of a non-probabilistic sampling at convenience. In general terms, it was concluded that the perception of employment policies is determined by interests, political positions and fears and aversion to uncertainty.
