Open unemployment is a condition where the workforce already has the skills but does not yet have a job. The problem of open unemployment is a complicated problem to be avoided by a country or region. If the open unemployment rate in an area tends to be high, it will slow down the achievement of the economic development targets that have been set. In addition, it will trigger other social issues such as increasing crime rates and economic issues such as decreasing people's purchasing power which will result in a decrease in demand for the results needed for production goods in a region. This research intends to find out the effect of Economic Growth, Inflation, Education and Gini Ratio on Open Unemployment in Sibolga City for the period 2002-2021.
