ABSTRACT
The relationship between employment and the sustainable development of cities in Oaxaca, Mexico, during the period 2000-2019 is analyzed to visualize employment opportunities in the cities that will make it possible to cope with the economic crisis derived from the Covid-19 pandemic. The methodology of the statistical analysis of correlation and network theory is used for data analysis. One can infer that there is a high correlation between employment levels and the sustainable development of Oaxacan cities. These results show that despite the economic vulnerability that still persists in them, the cities analyzed have strengths and opportunities in their activities and infrastructure, which is conducive to promoting employment linked to sustainable development. © 2022 Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. Jose Maria Luis Mora.
