According to a report by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in February 2023, the number of unemployed people in Indonesia reached 7.99 million, a decrease of approximately 410,000 compared to February 2022.

This unemployment data includes four population groups, namely:

* People without jobs and actively seeking employment;
* People without jobs and preparing for a business;
* People without jobs and not seeking employment, because they feel it is impossible to find a job; and
* People who already have a job but have not yet started working.

The Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) in February 2023 reached 5.45%, also down compared to February of the previous year, which was 5.86%.

"Economic growth has also had a positive impact on reducing the open unemployment rate," said Edy Mahmud, Deputy for Balance and Statistical Analysis at BPS, in a press release (5/5/2023).

The Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) is the percentage of the unemployed to the total labor force (population aged 15 years and over who are working, or have a job but are temporarily not working, and the unemployed).

The total Indonesian labor force in February 2023 reached 146.62 million, an increase of 2.61 million compared to February 2022.

Although the February 2023 unemployment figures decreased from the previous year, the number is still higher than before the pandemic.

Compared to February 2019, the number of unemployed at the beginning of this year increased by approximately 1.2 million people.
