The working conditions changed, especially for the young population, presenting everythin from a decrease in wages and benefits, to the closure of small businesses. The objective of this paper was to analyze the effects of these changes in people between 15 to 29 years old, in the state of Nuevo Leon. To do this, their working conditions were compared with those of adults in the state and with those of young people in the rest of the country. To do it, we use the National Occupation and Employment Survey of Q3-2019 and Q3-2020. The analysis indicates that the labor participation of this population segment of the state was considerably reduced; however, those who lost their jobs decided not to look for a new one, which caused their unemployment rate to only increase slightly. However, the portion that continued to work recorded a significant deterioration in their working conditions, such as health benefits, informality or wages, especially for younger men with lower levels of schooling. La pandemia del COVID-19 no solo ha  afectado la salud pública, también ha repercutido en la macro y micro economía. Las condiciones laborales cambiaron, sobre todo para la población joven, al presentarse desde disminución de salarios y prestaciones, hasta el cierre de negocios, principalmente los negocios pequeños. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el efecto de esas alteraciones en las personas de entre 15 y 29 años, en el estado de Nuevo León. Para ello, se compararon sus condiciones laborales con las de los adultos del estado y de los jóvenes del resto del país a partir de la información obtenida de los microdatos de la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo del tercer trimestre de 2019 y el de 2020. El análisis indica que la participación laboral de este segmento poblacional del estado se redujo considerablemente; sin embargo, quienes perdieron su empleo decidieron no buscar uno nuevo, lo que ocasionó que su tasa de desempleo sólo se incrementara ligeramente. No obstante, la porción que continuó trabajando registró un deterioro importante en sus condiciones laborales, como prestaciones, informalidad o salario, especialmente para los hombres más jóvenes y con menores niveles de escolaridad.
