Abstract
Employment is expanding at a good pace and unemployment is declining; the proportion of good jobs has declined and that of poor jobs has increased among all workers. The presentation addresses the quality of jobs being created in the Egyptian economy. Among wage and salary workers, most good jobs have contracts, paid vacations and paid sick leave and all offer regular employment. Poor jobs have virtually none of the above features and are mostly irregular. A comparison is drawn between public and private sector employment, as well as trends over time.
