A change in economy can occur anytime and may affect the development of country as well as unemployment rate. It has both social and economic implications for all economies and the government take an action and try to adopt policies that will help in increasing employment rate. Therefore, the main purpose of this research was to examine the determinants that affect the unemployment rate in Malaysia. The data was collected from Datastream and EIU country data from 2003 untill 2014 (quarterly basis).
