Este artículo propone una metodología para estimar un indicador del mercado laboral que combina variables económicas, sociales, de desigualdad y de expectativas. Se emplean técnicas de aprendizaje automático para seleccionar las variables más relevantes. El indicador captura la evolución de las tasas de empleo y desempleo, e incorpora información sobre género, edad, informalidad, sectores productivos y datos de Google Trends. Este enfoque permite una comprensión más integral de la situación del mercado laboral, una mejor visibilidad de las diferencias regionales, así como la heterogeneidad del impacto de la pandemia y la posterior recuperación. La metodología se ejemplifica en las ciudades colombianas de Cali, Medellín, Bogotá D.C. y Popayán.
