Unemployment Rate Evolution in Gambia from 2012 to 2023

Gambia’s unemployment rate has seen notable changes, from 10.3% in 2012 to a low of 4.1% in 2018, indicating improvements in economic stability and job creation. However, recent challenges, including the pandemic's effect on tourism and agriculture, led to an increase to 6.5% by 2023.
