The National Statistics Office has published revised Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates. The revisions are in line with the updated population figures published in January [1].
The NSO said that in 2022, out of every 100 persons aged 15 to 64, 77 were employed, an increase of 5.4 percentage points from 2018.
In the same year, more than one-fifth of the employed population had a professional occupation.
For the five full years under review, the NSO noted that the unemployment rate averaged 4.0%, with the highest recorded in 2020.
In 2022, the proportion of the 15+ population that attained a low educational level was 8.3 percentage points lower than in 2018.
