In recent years, the decline of open unemployment rates have been as slow as molasses. It means that the labor market has reached its saturation point. In February this year, for instance, The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) data showed that the open unemployment rate was 5,7 percent. Compared with February last year, it means that the open unemployment rate only declined 0,12 percent from February 2013 to February 2014. Consequently, the new government, which will be resulted by the upcoming presidential election, needs to make a breakthrough to encourage jobs creation.
