The unemployment rate serves as acritical indicator of labor market imbalances, essential for labor policy formulation andassessment. Nonetheless, unemployment data has limitations, particularly at the micro-level,owing to sample constraints. Small Area Estimation (SAE) can address these constraints. Thisstudy estimates the unemployment rate at the sub-district level in West Java province for 2024utilizing the Hierarchical Bayes Beta methodology and clustering techniques.
