TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A survey by Bank Indonesia (BI) shows that consumers are becoming more confident in the availability of job opportunities. The Job Availability Index (IKLK) in November 2025 increased to 103.7, up from the previous month which was recorded at 102.6.
The IKLK is in the optimistic level or above 100 in October and November after previously being in the pessimistic zone since May 2025. "In general, respondents' perception of the availability of current job opportunities has increased," wrote the consumer survey released by BI on December 9, 2025.
Based on the education groups, high school and academy or diploma experienced an increase in the index. The high school group rose from 98.2 in November to 100, while the academy or diploma group rose from 109.5 to 110.1.
Meanwhile, the index for bachelor's and postgraduate groups experienced a decrease. Bachelor's decreased from 113.3 to 112.8, and the postgraduate group index decreased from 123 in November to 99.9 in December. Meanwhile, the IKLK increased in most age groups, although the age group above 51 years old is still in the pessimistic zone.
The IKLK was in the optimistic zone at the beginning of the year. The index was above 100 from January to April 2025 but experienced a decrease to the pessimistic level from May to September 2025.
The rising confidence in job availability prospects is in line with consumers' confidence in the economy compared to the previous month. The Consumer Confidence Index (IKK) in November 2025 was at an optimistic level of 124, higher than the previous month's index of 121.2.
The increased consumer confidence in November 2025 is supported by the increase in the Current Economic Conditions Index (IKE) and the Consumer Expectations Index (IEK), which were recorded at 111.5 and 136.6, respectively. Higher than the previous month's index of 109.1 and 133.4.
