Bank Indonesia's May 2025 Consumer Survey Report reveals growing public pessimism regarding job availability.

This perception of job availability is one of the indicators in BI's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) survey.

BI recorded the Job Availability Index (JAI) at 95.7 points in May 2025, a level indicating pessimism.

Historically, the JAI has been declining since December 2024. Over the past six months, the index score only increased in April 2025, reaching 101.6 points.

Across all education levels surveyed, confidence in job availability decreased in May 2025.

For those with a high school diploma (SMA), the index fell from 95.4 points in April 2025 to 92 points in May 2025. For those with an academy/diploma, it dropped from 119.1 to 95.8 points—the only education level falling into the pessimistic range.

The index for those with a bachelor's degree fell from 104.6 to 101.1 points, and for those with a postgraduate degree, it dropped from 133.1 to 105.8 points.

Each month, BI surveys 4,600 households across 18 major Indonesian cities. One indicator surveyed is consumer perception of current job availability compared to six months prior.

The survey results are processed into an index, with scores above 100 indicating optimism and scores below 100 indicating pessimism.
