As Geostat reports, unemployment rate in Georgia remains at 13.9% in 2025

According to Geostat’s report, Georgia’s unemployment rate remained unchanged in 2025 (13.9%) compared to the previous year.
As official statistics show, both employment and the labor force — people actively seeking work — declined last year.
A decrease of the labor force participation rate by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year to 54.5% was shown by Geostat data. Meanwhile the employment rate fell by 0.2 percentage points to 46.9%.
The regions of Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti, Kvemo Kartli, and Guria showed the sharpest decline in unemployment (a downfall by 3.1, 2.9, and 2 percentage points respectively).
The highest unemployment rate in the country (17.5%) was in Tbilisi.
Also, the unemployment rate among men is higher than among women.
Among age groups, unemployment was highest among people aged 15-19 (39%), while the lowest rate was recorded among people aged 65 and older (3.5%). Geostat links this data to low economic activity in that age group.
Nearly 1.4 million people were employed in Georgia in 2025, including 961,000 hired employees and 426,000 self-employed individuals. Meanwhile, 224,000 people were unemployed.
The total labor force in Georgia counted approximately 1.6 million people last year.
