NewzData from the Argentine National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec) for the second quarter of 2026 reveals a significant disparity in earnings between formal and informal employment. The average monthly income for registered workers reached $1,433,794, while informal workers earned an average of $706,204, representing a 103% wage gap favoring formal employment.
Despite this aggregate difference, the data indicates the existence of specific income segments where informal work provides higher remuneration than registered positions. This finding highlights a paradox within the labor market structure, suggesting that the broad average gap does not uniformly reflect the financial realities across all economic strata.
