February 2019 at 5.01 percent of Indonesia’s labor force participation rate. This figure is
improved compared to the position in February 2018 which is 5.13 percent. Head of BPS,

number of unemployed people decreased by 50 thonsand people from 6.87 million people in
February 2018 tom6.82 million people. Even so, the open unemployment rate in the city of 6.3
percent was still higher than the village of 3.45 “We publish twice the unemployment rate every
years, namely February and august.

But we do not compare the current figures with august last years because there are
seasonal factors such as the harvest period which certainly affects labor absorption,” explained
suhariyanto, Monday (6/5)Economic Growth in the first Quarter of 2019 only reached 5.07
percent this figure of 5.01 percent actually shows a good quality of employment. This is because
the decline in unemployment occurred amid a rising labor force participation rate. BPS noted, the
labor force participation rate in February 2019 was 136.18 million people or grew 1.67 percent
compared o the previous year. If viewed from the sector, the trade sector absorbed the most labor
