Algeria Employment Guide

Facts & Stats

The region of Algeria has enjoyed a long, rich, and tumultuous time of it since the Romans used the lands known as Carthage, Numidia, and Mauretania. These African kingdoms weren’t too friendly with the Romans, and this proud history still holds a strong place in the hearts of the Algerian people.

In recent times, Algeria is better known as Africa’s largest nation. Today’s Algeria is a cultural melting pot where Mediterranean, Arabic, and African cultures mix with echoes of their more recent French colonial past. Outside the capital Algiers, the country is home to some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world where vast deserts blend with craggy mountains, salty chotts, and lush greenery.

The Algerian economy is Africa’s sixth-largest and heavily reliant on energy exports. Algeria holds the 16th largest oil reserves in the world. The rest of the nation’s workforce of 12.2 million people are engaged in mining, agriculture, light manufacturing, and food processing — all of which contribute to Algeria’s continuous growth as an economic powerhouse
