<\/a> Egypt\u2019s unemployment rate rose to a <\/strong>near two-year high<\/a><\/strong> in 2Q2020, hitting 9.6%<\/strong> as the covid-19 pandemic forced businesses to shutter and put a damper on economic activity, according to official figures (pdf)<\/a> released by Capmas yesterday. The jobless count stood at 7.5% in the same quarter of last year and was at 7.7% in the first quarter<\/a> of 2020 before rising to 9.2% in April as the government\u2019s precautionary measures to counter the spread of the virus came into effect.<\/p>\n

September\u2019s PMI and jobless figures will be the next significant indicator in whether <\/strong>there\u2019s a pickup in employment<\/strong> now we\u2019ve exited lockdown restrictions. July\u2019s purchasing managers\u2019 index<\/a> showed that the labor market was still feeling the effects of the three-month lockdown, with employment continuing to decline during the month. Respondents to the poll said this was mainly due to companies not replacing ex-employees who had left voluntarily. The pace of hiring typically slows in August and resumes in September and October \u2014 fueled by hiring managers and jobseekers returning from summer vacation, by \u201cuse or it or lose it\u201d budgeting at companies, and by the annual fall budget process.<\/p>\n

Putting our Fake Economist\u2122 hat on for a moment: <\/strong>Capmas shows the labor force contracting from 28.1 mn participants in 2Q2019 (covering both employed and unemployed people) to 26.7 mn in the quarter just ended. Capmas chalks it up to the pandemic, saying that people were either (a) reluctant to work and so dropped out of the workforce or (b) were unable to look for a job because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Women and youth seem to have been particularly hard hit: <\/strong>Women\u2019s unemployment fell nearly 6 percentage points to 16.2% (suggesting to us that a large number of working moms left the workforce to stay home and look after kids), while youth unemployment was at 60% in the second quarter compared to nearly 85% a year ago. Men seem to have higher expectations that they\u2019ll return to wor<\/strong>k:<\/strong> Unemployment among men rose to 8.5% in 2Q2020 compared to 4.5% in the first quarter of this year and to 4.2% in the same quarter last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
