Amman: The Ministry of Labor on Thursday officially launched the Labor Market Information System after its pilot phase, providing updated labor market data to support evidence-based decision-making and better align labor supply with demand.
According to Jordan News Agency, Ministry media spokesperson Mohammad Zyoud stated that the system is a strategic national project spanning 10 years. The ministry is committed to continuously upgrading the platform and its tools to keep pace with economic changes. The system’s official rollout follows a pilot period dedicated to capturing user feedback, positioning the platform as a comprehensive reference that delivers an accurate diagnosis of labor market conditions.
Zyoud highlighted that the system is available in Arabic and English through the ministry’s website, enabling the private sector to serve as a core partner in analyzing labor market needs. It draws on a database of diverse indicators classified in line with international standards, helping anticipate future occupations and job trends in the Kingdom.
He further explained that the system was developed with support from the International Labour Organization and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), in collaboration with several national entities. These include the Department of Statistics, the Social Security Corporation, and the ministries of higher education and scientific research and of digital economy and entrepreneurship, among others.
Additionally, Zyoud mentioned that the ministry is coordinating with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship to operate the system in line with the highest cybersecurity and data-protection standards through government servers.
