Employment in Pakistan

Out of a population of about 190,000,000 Pakistan has a labor force of about 55,770,000, which is tenth in the world.


Labor force - by occupation:
Field info displayed for all countries in alpha order.
agriculture: 43%
industry: 20.3%
services: 36.6% (2005 est.)
 
Unemployment Rate: 15% (2010 est.)
The unemployment rate is very high in Pakistan and is partly contributed to how most of the labor revolves around agriculuture in a mostly rural country. Since weather and many factors are able to change that rate so easily, the unemployment rate is changing and has increased since the recent drought has killed about half of Pakistan's rice crops.
