2026.09.3007:00:00UTC+00Turkey’s Unemployment Rate Eases to 7.8% in August, Extending Labor Market Improvement

Turkey’s unemployment rate fell to 7.8% in August 2026, down from 8.1% in July, according to data updated on 30 September 2026. The month-over-month decline signals a continued improvement in labor market conditions following the previous month’s gains.

On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading shows that joblessness in August continued to ease compared with July, when the unemployment rate stood at 8.1%. In line with the comparison methodology, the current figure reflects how labor market conditions in August evolved relative to the prior month, while the earlier July reading captures a similar month-over-month change against June.

The move from 8.1% to 7.8% suggests a modest but ongoing strengthening in employment dynamics in Turkey as of late summer 2026, with the trend now pointing to two consecutive months of improvement on a month-over-month basis.
