The number of unemployed people reached 1.224 million, while employment declined, in contrast to a gain of 173,000. The highest rates were recorded among young people aged 15 to 24 (30.5%), women (16.7%) and urban residents (12.5%); the rate in rural areas was 6.9%. Job opportunities fell particularly in agriculture and services, while industry saw an increase. The labor-underutilization rate reached 19.6%.

The High Commission for Planning cautioned that differences in methodology prevent direct comparison with the previous survey.
