The unemployment situation in Ghana

The unemployment situation in Ghana is increasing at an alarming rate despite several efforts by successive governments to reduce the numbers.

The latest figures from the Annual Household Income and Expenditure Survey Quarter Three Labour Bulletin by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) pegs the country's unemployment rate at 14.7 per cent.

Many university graduates struggling to find jobs are becoming a burden to their families.

A few days ago, Lois Ansaa Asiedu, a first-class student from the KNUST went viral on X after sharing her certificate to beg for a job.

Days after the post, Lois announced that she had received offers from several companies, thanking Ghanaians for making her post go viral.

Just like it happened for Lois, Vincent Bonnah Barfi (@kojotrappstarr) and the many others begging for jobs online would be banking their hopes on the power of social media.
