According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in February 2025 there were approximately 7.28 million unemployed people in Indonesia.

This number is equivalent to 4.76% of the total national workforce.

However, the unemployment rate varies significantly at the provincial level.

In February 2025, the highest open unemployment rate (OUR) was in Papua, reaching 6.92%.

This means that out of every 100 people in the workforce in that province, about 7 were unemployed.

Other provinces with relatively high unemployment rates include Riau Islands, West Java, Banten, West Papua, Jakarta, and North Sulawesi, with OURs around 6%.

Meanwhile, the lowest unemployment rates were in Bali and Papua Pegunungan, with OURs around 1%, as shown in the graph.
