The National Bureau of Statistics said that
Nigeria’s unemployment rate has
increased to 27.1 percent in the second
quarter of 2020 from 23.1 per cent
recorded in 2018.
The agency which confirmed this in a
statement titled ‘Labor Force Statistics:
Unemployment and Underemployment
Report’ which was released on Friday
added that the number of persons in the
economically active or working-age
population (15 – 64 years of age)

According to the report, more than 17
million Nigerians have become

“These rates were the highest when
compared to other age groupings.
“The number of persons in the labour
force (i.e. people within ages 15 -64, who
are able and willing to work) was
estimated to be 80,291,894. This was 11.3
per cent less than the number of persons
in Q3 2018.
“Of this number, those within the age
bracket of 25-34 were highest, with 23,328,460 or 29.1 per cent of the labour force.

“Of this number, 35,585,274 were full-time employed (i.e. worked 40+ hours per week), while 22,942,003 were
underemployed (i.e. working between 20-29 hours per week).” the statement
said.
.
Also, it’s been reported that Imo State has the highest rate of unemployment with
48.7 per cent, followed by Akwa-Ibom State and Rivers State with 45.2 per cent and 43.7 per cent respectively.

*Anambra recorded the lowest rate of unemployment at 13.1 percent. “For underemployment, the state which recorded the highest rate was Zamfara with 43.7 percent, while Anambra State
recorded the lowest underemployment rate, with 17 percent in Q2 2020. “A total number of 2,736,076 did not do
any work in the last seven days preceding
the survey due to the lockdown but had
secure jobs to return to after the
lockdown,” the statement added.
