Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Indonesia is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of labour force, people aged 15 and over, August · BPS, National Labour Force Survey (Sakernas), open unemployment rate by province, August (table 543) · province data · as of Sep 2026.
