During the four years of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Jusuf Kalla's (JK) administration, the number of unemployed people was reduced. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that the number of openly unemployed at the end of February 2018 reached 6.87 million, down from 7.24 million in August 2014. As a result, the unemployment rate also fell to 5.13% from 5.94%.

This decrease in unemployment was partly driven by the proliferation of online transportation services in Indonesia. Consequently, the workforce in February 2018 grew by 10.85% to 127.07 million compared to 114.63 million in August 2014. Meanwhile, the total workforce grew by only 9.9% to 133.94 million from 121.87 million previously.

The number of unemployed during the Jokowi-JK administration is also the lowest since 2001, when approximately 8 million people of working age were unemployed.
