These are the provinces with the best – and worst – job numbers over the past 10 yearsThe DA-governed Western Cape saw an unemployment decline of 2.2%, but it wasn't the province which saw the sharpest decline. BISouthAfrica I'm sorry, but to quote narrow unemployment rates as an indication of the 'best & worst jobs numbers' is a joke. Limpopo's expanded rate is over 38% - a full 22 percentage points higher than the 16.5% in the table. Those people are also unemployed, they've just given up looking. BISouthAfrica This 'narrow' unemployment data excludes people who have given up looking for a job. More relevant is 'broad' unemployment, which includes those who've given up looking. DA-run Western Cape has by far the lowest at 23%, which is 14 percentage point lower than SA's average of 37%.
