Four Million Nigerians Became Jobless In 2017 - National Bureau Of Statistics by dipoolowoo(op): 1:52pm On Dec 22, 2017

Between January and September this year, a total number of 4.07 million Nigerians became unemployed, an analysis of the unemployment report for the third quarter released by the National Bureau of Statistics has revealed.

The bureau in the report, made available to our correspondent on Friday, stated that the number of Nigerians that became unemployed rose from 11.92 million in the first quarter of this year to 13.58 million and 15.99 million in the second and third quarters respectively.

It said between the second quarter and third quarter, the number of economically active or working age population (15 – 64 years of age) increased from 110.3 million to 111.1 million.

The NBS report said the increasing unemployment and underemployment rates imply that although Nigeria’s economy is officially out of recession, domestic labor market is still fragile and economic growths in the past two quarters in 2017 have not been strong enough to provide employment in Nigeria’s domestic labor market.

It reads in part, “The labor force population increased from 83.9 million in Q2 2017 to 85.1 million in Q3 2017. The total number of people in full-time employment (at least 40 hours a week) declined from 52.7 million in Q2 2017 to 51.1 million in Q3 2017.

“The unemployment rate increased from 14.2 per cent in Q4 2016 to 16.2 per cent in Q2 2017 and 18.8 per cent in Q3 2017.

“The number of people within the labor force who are unemployed or underemployed increased from 13.6 million and 17.7 million respectively in Q2 2017, to 15.9 million and 18.0 million in Q3 2017.

“Total unemployment and underemployment combined increased from 37.2 per cent in the previous quarter to 40 per cent in Q3 2017.”

It said during the third quarter of this year, 21.2 per cent of women within the labor force that were between the ages of 15 years and 64 years and willing, able, and actively seeking work were unemployed, compared with 16.5 per cent of men within the same period.

The NBS noted in the report that in the third quarter of this year,16.4 per cent of rural and 23.4 per cent of urban dwellers within the labor force were unemployed. It added that the rate of unemployment is increasing at a slightly faster rate for urban dwellers than it was for their rural counterparts.

Where are those who were happy when the vile dullard breach common sense and revoked the operational license of a company creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs just because of mere rumours one shareholder might contest the presidency .

Unemployment and untold hardship have always been the hallmark of every Buhari regime. As it was in 1984, so also it is today.

Just 18.8%? This is clearly a false statistic. And a big insult to the suffering masses.

Those who have jobs are even worse than the unemployed. The rate of underemployment is the real deal, and it should be not less than 70%. People who deceive themselves that they have "something doing", but yet live from hand to mouth, and can barely feed themselves.

All thanks to the maggot from Daura. Nigerians must rise in their millions and violently take back their country. Peace is worthless with so much injustice, inequity, and bigotry fostered by the animals in power. Nigerians must rise and roast these bastards and take back their country.
