This marks a slight decline of 0.15 percentage points from the previous year, alongside an increase in the working-age population by 57,640 and employed individuals by 62,180, reducing the number of unemployed by about 4,540. The data highlights higher labour force participation among men (78.83%) versus women (52.26%), and elevated unemployment rates among SMK and SMA graduates at 8.15% and 7.58%, respectively, underscoring challenges in job absorption for certain educational groups in the capital.",
