Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that the highest open unemployment rate (TPT) comes from those with a secondary education, namely senior high school and vocational school graduates, at 8.41% of the total TPT in February 2023.

This data indicates an oversupply of labor, particularly among secondary education graduates. The BPS then compared this with lower levels of education.

"Meanwhile, those with lower levels of education tend to be willing to accept any job, as evidenced by the relatively lower TPT for those who have never attended school, which is only 1.64%," wrote the BPS in its report, *Indonesia's Labor Market Indicators February 2023*.

The TPT for those with higher education reached 5.59%, the second highest proportion. Next, the TPT for primary school graduates was 3.85%.

The BPS explained that compared to the previous survey in August 2022, the February 2023 TPT decreased in two education categories: primary and secondary education.

However, compared to the year-on-year (yoy) condition of February 2022, the TPT decreased in almost all education categories except for those who never attended school.

The TPT itself is calculated from the percentage of unemployed people to the total workforce.

Data from the National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) shows that the TPT reached 5.45% in February 2023.

"This means that out of 100 people in the Indonesian workforce, there are about 5 unemployed people," said the BPS.

Compared to February 2022, the TPT in February 2023 decreased by 0.38 percentage points. Compared to August 2022, it also decreased by 0.41 percentage points.
