The labor market in Algeria is mainly characterized by a high unemployment rate and a large number of young graduates who find it difficult to find a job. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Algerian economy, leading to rising unemployment. The sectors most affected by the health crisis have been services, tourism and small and medium-sized enterprises.
