Politare

Employment rate, 15 and over during each president's tenure

Every president since 1991, ranked by how the employment rate, 15 and over changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); 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 the population aged 15 and over · Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Kenya Continuous Household Survey, persons aged 15 and over, as ILOSTAT compiles it: eight quarters from January-March 2019 to October-December 2021; the bureau's own quarterly reports (to 2022) are PDFs, nothing later is published · Kenya data · as of Sep 2026.
