How to find a job in South Africa

In the midst of the high unemployment rate in the country, finding not only your desired job but one to put food on the table and make ends meet is a job and a half. Whether you’re a fresh graduate or someone who’s been in the job market for years – job hunting is tough.

According to Statistics South Africa (Stats SA), The results of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) for the third quarter of 2021 show that the number of employed persons decreased by 660 000 in the third quarter of 2021 to 14,3 million. The number of unemployed persons decreased by 183 000 to 7,6 million compared to the second quarter of 2021.
