According to data from the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), approximately 25,000 people experienced job termination (PHK) in Indonesia during the January-December 2022 period.

Last year, the most significant number of layoffs occurred in West Java, with approximately 4,600 people affected.

Many PHK cases also occurred in Banten, East Java, East Kalimantan, and DKI Jakarta, with details as shown in the graph.

However, this data may not reflect the total number of PHK cases in Indonesia.

This is because Kemnaker only records PHK cases reported by companies through the Manpower Service Information and Application System and/or the Industrial Relations Court.

Meanwhile, according to the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo), the number of workers affected by PHK throughout Indonesia from January to November 2022 reached 919,071, significantly higher than Kemnaker's data.

Apindo also stated that a wave of mass layoffs will occur this year, particularly in the textile, footwear, and furniture industries.

"Certainly (those three industries) will conduct layoffs next year, not 'will' anymore," said Apindo Deputy Chairwoman Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, as reported by *Katadata*, Wednesday (21/12/2022).

Here is a list of the 10 provinces with the most PHK cases throughout 2022:

1. West Java: 4,629 people
2. Banten: 3,703 people
3. East Java: 3,574 people
4. East Kalimantan: 3,082 people
5. DKI Jakarta: 1,655 people
6. South Kalimantan: 1,199 people
7. West Kalimantan: 1,131 people
8. Riau: 916 people
9. Riau Islands: 863 people
10. Bali: 706 people

Here are the 10 provinces with the fewest PHK cases throughout 2022:

1. North Maluku: 8 people
2. Bengkulu: 26 people
3. Lampung: 30 people
4. West Sulawesi: 34 people
5. West Sumatra: 35 people
6. Central Sulawesi: 35 people
7. Central Kalimantan: 37 people
8. East Nusa Tenggara: 62 people
9. North Sumatra: 70 people
10. Southeast Sulawesi: 74 people
