Abstract: This paper describes the 2025 wave of the Jordan Labor Market Panel Survey (JLMPS). The 2025 JLMPS is a longitudinal survey, following households and individuals fielded in waves in 2010 and 2016. Waves starting in 2016 included a refresher sample that over-sampled areas with a high share of non-Jordanians. This paper describes the design of the sample and questionnaire and provides comparisons for some of the main results with other recent data sources from Jordan. The 2025 JLMPS is consistent with other labor force statistics in terms of key labor force participation, employment, and unemployment rates for Jordanians in 2025, although there are sometimes differences among sub-groups and for non-Jordanians. Demographics (household size, age distributions, years of schooling) are also generally similar. The 2025 JLMPS thus provides an important opportunity to update our understanding of Jordan’s labor market and society.
