Qatar has achieved what most economies can only aspire to — virtual full employment. With a staggering 99.9% employment rate across all sectors, the Gulf state has secured its place as the global leader in workforce utilisation, recording the world’s lowest unemployment rate of just 0.1%, according to fresh data from the National Planning Council. The figures, remarkable in their consistency, have held firm over five years — a testament to the resilience and structural strength of an economy that has successfully diversified beyond its hydrocarbon base. Among Qatari nationals, the employment landscape is striking not only for its scale but its equity: as of June 2025, Qatari men registered employment rates of 99.7–99.9%, while Qatari women were close behind at 99.2–99.7% — a near-perfect expression of gender parity in the labour market that few nations globally can match. The story is equally compelling for Qatar’s expatriate workforce, which mirrors the national trend with an average employment rate of 99.9%, with comparable rates for both men and women. Far from a statistical anomaly, these numbers point to an economy of extraordinary inclusiveness — one capable of absorbing and sustaining a large, diverse labour force while maintaining macroeconomic stability.
