According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) report, the open unemployment rate (TPT) in Indonesian urban areas decreased in August 2023, while the TPT in rural areas increased.

Nevertheless, the urban TPT remains higher than the rural TPT.

Observing the trend, the open unemployment rate (TPT) in urban areas has consistently decreased over the past three years.

In August 2020, the urban TPT was at 8.98%. This then decreased to 8.32% in August 2021, 7.74% in August 2022, and further decreased to 6.4% in August 2023.

On the other hand, unemployment in rural areas has fluctuated, but the TPT figures remain lower than in urban areas.

In August 2020, the rural TPT reached 4.71%, then decreased to 4.17% in August 2021, and further decreased to 3.43% in August 2022, before finally rising to 3.88% in August 2023.

The BPS recorded that the Indonesian TPT (combined urban and rural) in August 2023 reached 5.32%, down from 5.86% in August of the previous year.

Based on regional distribution, in August 2023, 10 provinces had unemployment rates above the national average, while 24 provinces were below the average.

Banten remained the province with the highest national TPT in August 2023, at 7.52%. However, this figure decreased from 8.09% in August 2022.

Below Banten were West Java, Riau Islands, DKI Jakarta, and Maluku, with TPTs ranging from 7.4% to 6.3%.

Meanwhile, West Sulawesi had the lowest national TPT at only 2.27%. This figure decreased from 2.34% in August 2022.
