Jobs & Industry in Congo
Work across the area — who is in the labour force, in which industries and jobs.
Zero percent unemployment is the standout feature of the workforce in Congo. While a typical proportion of adults are working or looking for work, full-time employment is far below the national figure. This suggests a local job market where most people are employed but often in part-time or flexible roles.
