Labour force rose to 5.27 million Persons in 2025, from 5.18 million Persons in 2024.

How many Haitians are in the labour force, 1990 to 2025: everyone employed plus everyone unemployed and searching. Roughly five million people. It is the denominator behind the unemployment rate and the numerator behind the participation rate, and it grows with the working-age population, which is why it rises steadily through years of contracting output.
