The Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) recorded a total of 2,650 workers laid off (PHK) in DKI Jakarta from January to February 2025.

This accumulated figure is lower than the same period last year, which reached 3,650.

Historically, the highest number of layoffs in the last year occurred in September 2024, reaching 3,741. The details show an accumulation of 7,569 layoffs in August, skyrocketing to 11,210 in September 2024.

Jakarta has consistently been among the top five provinces with the highest number of layoffs in Indonesia, at least in the last year. Other provinces include Central Java, East Java, Banten, and Riau.

Nationally, Kemenaker recorded 18,610 workers laid off during January-February 2025. To date, the government has not released further layoff figures, citing a desire to maintain public optimism amidst economic turbulence.

Mass Layoffs Could Increase Following Trump's Policies

Achmad Nur Hidayat, an economist and public policy expert from UPN Veteran Jakarta, cites the import tariff policies of former US President Donald Trump as a serious threat to labor stability.

"The textile and footwear industries, which employ more than 3.6 million workers, will be severely impacted," Hidayat stated as reported by Katadata.

He predicts that global buyers could shift production contracts to countries like Thailand, Vietnam, or Cambodia, which have lower export tariffs to the US.

"This means a threat of mass layoffs that will increase unemployment and decrease public purchasing power," he said.

Furthermore, Hidayat anticipates that Indonesia's target of a US$40 billion trade surplus in 2025 is at risk of not being achieved.

"The US market absorbs more than 10% of Indonesia's non-oil and gas exports. If export volumes fall sharply, foreign exchange earnings will be pressured, and the rupiah will become more vulnerable to volatility," said Hidayat.
