And it's a shame too because this country has a lot to offer in terms of a stable and job and possibly even a thriving career.

Israel's Unemployment Rate 

Just take a look at its unemployment rate, which is at 4.60% as of this writing. It's considerably lower than the other countries, even the big powerhouse nations. With relatively few people left with no job here, it means the country's workforce is currently at a strong point. Industries are thriving here, there are more jobs that are getting filled, and more. And this is all against a backdrop of a global pandemic, one that has affected some of the biggest economies in the world. For Israel to still have this low unemployment rate while everything else is going on, it's quite commendable. 

 

Israeli Industries With The Most Employees

To be more specific, there are certain industries that are growing faster and better than others in Israel. They're currently the top ones with the most employees, further proving that they have enough space to welcome new hires, possibly even from overseas. For instance, to say that the technology industry is booming in Israel is an understatement. Hi-tech startups are popping up left and right, giving a lot of opportunities for the unemployed to find a job. Manufacturing is also getting quite a boost right now, with more and more English-speaking jobs available despite having hired millions already.
