The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that the number of commuter workers in Indonesia reached 8.1 million in August 2022. This figure increased by approximately 800,000 compared to August 2021, which reached 7.2 million.

"Improvements in transportation infrastructure and facilities encourage people to access jobs located further from their residences," wrote the BPS in its report.

BPS defines commuter workers as residents who work outside their regency/city of residence and regularly commute to and from their residence on the same day.

Based on region, West Java had the highest proportion of commuter workers nationally in August 2022, accounting for 29% of the total commuter workforce.

Second was Central Java with a proportion of 12.5% commuter workers. East Java ranked third with 11.8% commuter workers.

This was followed by commuter workers from DKI Jakarta at 10.4% and Banten at 9%.

Eight out of the ten provinces with the highest number of commuter workers nationally in August 2022 were dominated by workers from Java Island.

"This illustrates that 7.1 million people, or almost 90% of commuter workers, are dominated by residents of the western Indonesian region. The remaining 10% are located in other regions," wrote BPS in its report.
