The Arab and mixed cities continue to lead the list of cities with the highest rates of job seekers even in February. This emerges from data published today (Tuesday) by the Employment Service. Of the ten cities with the highest rate of job seekers in Israel, on the second anniversary of the Corona crisis, six are Arab, one mixed (Acre), and three more from the northern and southern periphery - Dimona, Safed and Tiberias.
At the top of the list is Umm al-Fahm, which is the only city with a rate of job seekers higher than 10%, with a rate of 10.1% in February. It was followed by Rahat with 9.7% and in the last three places in the top five were Sakhnin, Nazareth and Acre, with a rate of job seekers of 8.4%, 7% and 6.8%. In sixth place is Dimona with 6.2%, followed by Tiberias with 5.7%, Tamara with 5.5%, Safed 5.2% and Shefar'am with 5.1%.

After many months during the crisis were also ultra-Orthodox cities, in the last two months - January as well as February - the ultra-Orthodox city with the highest rate of job seekers was more elite (3.2%, just like in January) and was ranked only 26th, followed by Bnei Brak , With a rate of 1.9%, which gave her only 46th place on the list.
Data from the Employment Service also show that the number of jobseekers registered with the service decreased in February by about 5,500 workers compared to January, and stood at 163.8 thousand. This number is already the same as the number that was on the eve of the corona crisis, at the beginning of 2020.
Data published today by the Employment Service show that at the beginning of 2021, 12 job seekers applied for every vacancy in Israel, while in February 2022, only 1.1 applied. This is the best ratio for job seekers since 2009, and much better than the one recorded in Israel on the eve of the Corona crisis, 1.7. This means that job seekers have more employment opportunities than in the past.
The new data show that since leaving the third quarantine, there has been a consistent downward trend in the number of unemployment claimants, with the mix between unemployment claimants and income support plaintiffs changing. While on the eve of the crisis the ratio between them was 1.73 - meaning that for every single income support claimant there are almost two unemployment claimants - in February 2022 the ratio was only 1.2 - 85.6 thousand compared to 71.2 thousand.
The distribution of jobseekers by age in February, and in fact since the outbreak of the crisis, is different from that before the crisis when the variance is more significant in the rate of young people, which although significantly lower than in early 2021 (43.16% in January 2021 compared to 26.21% in February 2022) is still higher. (January 2020, then stood at 23.12%).
As before and during the crisis, so too after it - women continue to constitute a majority among job seekers and their rate was 52.5%, slightly higher compared to January.
During the month of February, 23,402 new jobseekers were registered in the employment service, including registration renewals, a volume lower than that known in the previous month, which then stood at 29,323. Also, during February, 27,632 job seekers terminated their eligibility and dropped out of the active job seekers situation.
In fact, the number of unemployment claimants registered with the employment service has been steadily declining since leaving the third quarantine, a trend that has accelerated twice, in June and October - once at the end of the unemployment period for those aged 45 and under (June) and a second time at the end of the 45-year eligibility period (October). . Between October and February their number decreased by 48.7% and between June and July it decreased by 48.1%.
The decrease in the number of job seekers was recorded in all population groups, although with different intensity - thus, the number of non-Haredi Jewish job seekers decreased by 2.4 thousand, the number of Arabs decreased by 2,000, the number of Haredim by 400 and the number of others by only 200.
