The majority of Indonesia's working population holds jobs in the services and sales sector, falling under the category of mid-skilled workers.

This is evident from the report, *Projection of Manpower Needs by Sector and Position*, released by the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker).

Kemnaker classifies worker skills into three levels:

* Level 1: High skills (skilled labor) encompassing managerial positions, professionals, and technicians/professional assistants.
* Level 2: Medium skills (semi-skilled labor) encompassing clerical workers, service/sales workers, and skilled agricultural/forestry/fishery workers.
* Level 3: Basic skills (basic skilled labor) encompassing processing/craft/similar workers, machine operators/assemblers, and unskilled laborers.

Based on Kemnaker's projection, in 2024, the majority of Indonesian workers will be classified as Level 2 or mid-skilled, particularly in the service/sales sector.

This service/sales sector includes food vendors, cooks, waiters, kiosk vendors, shop owners, shop sales assistants, cashiers, security guards, sanitation supervisors, hairdressers, travel agents, and so on.

The following details the projected number of Indonesian workers by job category in 2024, ordered from highest to lowest:

1. Service/sales workers (mid-skilled): 36.17 million people (25% of the total national workforce)
2. Skilled agricultural/forestry/fishery workers (mid-skilled): 28.99 million people (20%)
3. Unskilled laborers (basic skilled): 27.67 million people (19%)
4. Processing/craft/similar workers (basic skilled): 16.74 million people (12%)
5. Machine operators/assemblers (basic skilled): 9.69 million people (7%)
6. Professionals (high skilled): 8.95 million people (6%)
7. Clerical workers (mid-skilled): 5.71 million people (4%)
8. Technicians/professional assistants (high skilled): 4.46 million people (3%)
9. Managers (high skilled): 3.47 million people (2%)
