Job searching in Kenya is not a new factor with over 1.4 million Kenyans looking for employment. According to a survey by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), seven million Kenyans are unemployed. The survey, released on March 22, paints a grim picture of the country’s unemployment levels while shattering the 40 percent unemployment rate myth.
With Kenya’s unemployment rate at 7.4 percent, Kenyans are now opting to venture into businesses that will bring income and keep them going. With different amounts of starting capital, there are several options for those willing to quit the job hunt and be their own bosses.
