Türkiye's paid employment rises by 2.7% annually in September

The institute reported that the total number of paid employees in the industry, construction, and trade-services sectors reached 15.97 million in September, up from 15.55 million in the same month of the previous year.

However, a closer look at sectoral trends reveals a mixed picture. While the construction and trade-services sectors experienced significant growth of 6.3% and 4.0%, respectively, the industrial sector saw a slight decline of 0.7%.

On a monthly basis, the number of paid employees increased by a modest 0.2%. The construction and trade-services sectors contributed to this growth, while the industrial sector experienced a marginal decrease of 0.2%.

These figures indicate a dynamic labor market in Türkiye, with growth concentrated in certain sectors while others face challenges. (ILKHA)
