What is the most "working" county in the country? Lezha and Dibra

According to the official figures of INSTAT, in 2022, the labor force in Albania numbers about 1.45 million people, who represent the active population consisting of the employed and unemployed in the country. 'Scan Intel', based on the data, has analyzed the labor market in Albania for the past year, according to regions, to see how the indicators vary. Referring to the "Regional Statistical Yearbook", the highest rate of participation in the labor force was recorded in Korça district with 69.6%, followed by Elbasan with 69.3% and Berat with 69.1%. The labor force participation rate sheds light on the potential of a country's economy to engage the population in productive activity. So, based on these data, it seems that the districts of Korça, Elbasan and Berat are the districts with the highest potential in terms of participation in the labor force.

On the other hand, the lowest rate of participation in the labor force was registered in the districts of Lezha and Dibra with 53% and 56.5% respectively, while the average for the country is 62.4%. Based on the graph, we see that except for Lezha, Dibra and Tirana, all the other counties register a labor force participation rate higher than the national average. Compared to 2021, this indicator has increased in almost all districts with the exception of Gjirokastra.

But how is the employment rate presented by counties? From the data processed by 'Scan Intel', the ratio of employees aged 15 and over to the population of the same age is 55.5% in 2022. The highest employment rate was recorded in the district of Berat with 64.6%, followed by the district of Elbasan with 64.4%. So, the highest employment rate is registered in those counties that also have the highest participation in the labor force. The lowest rate is recorded in the district of Lezha with 41.0% and Dibra with 46.4%. In Lezhë, Dibër, Tirana and Vlorë, the employment rate is lower than the national average. Compared to 2021, the employment rate has increased in almost all counties except Gjirokastra.

From the gender point of view, the biggest difference in the employment rate for the population aged 15 and over is recorded in the Vlora region, where the gap is 16.1 pp, while the average in Albania is 11.1 pp. Meanwhile, the analysis of employment according to economic activities shows that services and agriculture have the largest share of employees, 44.2% and 33.9% respectively, while employees in industry constitute only 21.9%.

Referring to the data of the report, in 2022, there were about 160 thousand unemployed people in Albania, which is equal to 10.9% of the total labor force. The lowest unemployment rate was recorded in the district of Gjirokastra with 3.5% and Kukës 4.9%, while the highest was recorded in Lezhë with 22.7%, Dibër with 17.8% and Vlorë with 15.3%. Compared to 2021, unemployment is observed to have increased in the district of Dibra, Elbasan, Kukës, Lezha and Tirana.
