Lamis El-Hadidi on Egypt Census 57% Employed in Seasonal Jobs
Reports from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics confirm that Egypt's unemployment rate fell to its lowest level at 5.8% in the second quarter of the 2026 fiscal year. This is an important indicator reflecting a decline in unemployment since 2010. However, analyses indicate that most workers in the country are employed in seasonal sectors such as transportation, commerce, and agriculture, which do not depend on a genuine industry with added value or modern technology. This raises questions about the quality and sustainability of job opportunities in Egypt. Additionally, it is notable that 79% of the unemployed hold medium and higher education degrees, which are expected to drive economic growth, yet they suffer from high unemployment rates. This suggests a need to reassess the structure of the labor market to achieve sustainable human and economic development.
