Number of recipients of unemployment benefits in Tel Aviv in Israel 2015-2021
In 2021, the number of unemployment benefit recipients in Tel Aviv in Israel amounted to 15,996. This was a decrease of over 40 percent compared to the previous year. The number of residents of Tel Aviv who received unemployment pay increased significantly in 2020. A possible explanation for that peak was the introduction of governmental restrictions on various industries following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in March of that year. This led to layoffs or unpaid leave orders in these sectors.
