As of January 2021, 70 percent of the respondents of Nigerians reported being employed or active at work. This was the lowest rate of employment recorded since June 2020, when it stood at 72 percent. Parallel to the global outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), employment was reported at its lowest rate in April and May of 2020, as only 43 percent of the respondents said they were still actively working. This was considered a great drop of employment rate compared to the beginning of 2020, as the number of unemployed individuals almost doubled.
