Comments

Jordan Department for Statistics, has the following data in its homepage (https://web.dos.gov.jo/?lang=en):

  • Unemployment (until last quarter, Q2 2015)
  • GDP (Q1 2015)

Populations Census (https://www.dos.gov.jo/dos_home_e/main/Demograghy/pop_index.htm), has the following:

  • Population (until 2012)

However, there is ongoing census for 2015 population here, https://census.dos.gov.jo/?lang=en

The data in Jordan's Open Data Portal (https://www.jordan.gov.jo/wps/portal/) is not up to date. Thus, we will base our submission here on the Department of Statistics.
