One silver lining for unemployment in South Africa

• The silver lining for unemployment in South Africa is the growth of the informal sector, which reported a 34,000 increase in employment.
• The informal sector in South Africa is primarily made up of small businesses, such as spaza shops and at-home manufacturing, and is estimated to be larger than the reported 3.57 million workers.
• The growth in the informal sector is seen as a positive development for South Africa's economy, as it represents economic growth, but experts emphasize the need for overall GDP growth to address the country's unemployment crisis.
