In 2023, roughly 2.2 million people were looking for employment registered under the PESO Employment Information System (PEIS) of the labor department in the Philippines. This was just slightly higher than in the previous year.

 Employment situation in the Philippines 

The Philippines has a predominantly young population, with working-age individuals totaling about 77 million in 2022. In that same year, the employment rate stood at 94.6 percent, with over half of the employed population working in the services industry. However, as the country experienced long periods of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment and underemployment slightly increased. Most importantly, the number of job vacancies registered under the PESO Employment Information System (PEIS) in that year was just a third of the total number of registered job seekers in the Philippines.

 PESO Employment Information System (PEIS) – more information

To improve the local labor and employment situation in the Philippines, the Department of Labor and Employment created a database that shows information on job vacancies and the active workforce supply of registered job seekers. Through this free multiservice facility, applicants can request a job match based on their skills, while employers can fill in their vacancies by browsing through a database of qualified applicants. In 2023, about 35,000 employers registered on the platform, looking mostly for production workers and call center agents.
