Jordan Unemployment Surpasses 431k
The Ministry of Labor clarifies that there are more than 431,000 unemployed Jordanians according to the quarterly Labor Force Survey. However, official electoral figures indicate that the number of unemployed individuals aged 15 and above was approximately 435,549 in 2021, 419,837 in 2022, and 435,675 in 2025. The decrease in the unemployment rate is attributed to economic growth, particularly in sectors that are labor-intensive, with a focus on stimulating economic sectors, improving the business environment, and implementing vocational training programs. During 2025, about 87,617 job opportunities were created, although the number of new jobs in 2025 declined compared to 2024 and 2023.
