Mataram Municipality Employment Statistics 2018

Employment is one of the problems faced by the government. Some labor issues include a large number of labor force, relatively low quality of the workforce, uneven distribution of labor, and limited employment opportunities. The increase in the number of the workforce is not in line with the increase in the quality of the workforce. The quality of the workforce is not only seen from the level of education, but also from health and ability to work as desired. This low quality makes the workforce not accommodated in the labor market and becomes unemployed. In addition to the quality of the workforce, the availability of employment is one of the problems often faced. The sector of work that is the most desirable job opportunity is the sector of agriculture, industry, trade and services. However, these sectors are not able to provide broad employment opportunities for the large number of workers which causes unemployment.
