The share of employees in Panama's workforce was just above the average of Latin America in 2019. In that year, approximately 62.6 percent of the employed population of Panama held “paid employment jobs”, or jobs where they held employment contracts with right to basic remuneration. The shares of own-account and contributing family workers in Panama are expected to decrease at least until 2024.

The source provides the following additional information:
"The employed comprise all persons of working age who, during a specified brief period, were in one of the following categories: a) paid employment (whether at work or with a job but not at work); or b) self-employment (whether at work or with an enterprise but not at work). Data are disaggregated by status in employment according to the latest version of the International Standard Classification of Status in Employment (ICSE-93). Status in employment refers to the type of explicit or implicit contract of employment the person has with other persons or organizations. The basic criteria used to define the groups of the classification are the type of economic risk and the type of authority over establishments and other workers which the job incumbents have or will have."
