State of Mexico to Invest US$3.7B to Create 150,000 Jobs

The State of Mexico is strengthening its position as a national leader in job creation with a US$3.7 billion investment that will generate over 150,000 new jobs through 48 real estate projects. The state has already created over 121,000 new positions from September 2023 to March 2025, report authorities. 

Governor of the State of Mexico Delfina Gómez made the announcement at an event marking the launch of the 48 new construction projects, supported by the Association of Real Estate Developers (ADI). The projects are set to be spread across 19 municipalities, including Nextlalpan, Naucalpan, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Tecamac, Huixquilucan, and Tultitlan. The aim is to promote more balanced and sustainable growth throughout the region.

“This investment will impact not just the economy, but also the quality of life for the residents of the State of Mexico,” says Gómez. “We are proud that these 48 real estate projects will contribute to creating more jobs and improving living conditions for our citizens.”

Jaime Fasja, President, ADI, highlights the importance of collaboration between the private sector and the state government, noting that the partnership is key to the state's success in generating jobs.

Delfina’s office says that the State of Mexico has become a national leader in job creation, largely due to strategic investments. It adds that the new construction projects will play a critical role in achieving President Claudia Sheinbaum’s broader goals of strengthening both the national and regional economy.

The state also ranks second in Mexico for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which reached US$2.64 billion by the end of 2024. Laura González, Minister of Economic Development, highlights that this investment reflects a long-term commitment by businesses to the state, contributing not only to the real estate sector but also to industries like logistics and manufacturing.

“The fact that major companies continue to trust the State of Mexico with such significant investments is a clear signal that the state is dynamic, competitive, and capable of drawing investment from any region,” says González.
