Jobberman Ghana have released the, Employment Survey in Ghana eBook - which states that 85% of registered employers are located in the Greater Accra Region.
With Greater Accra being the capital of Ghana, it would be expected that it would attract a high number of employers due to its more developed infrastructure and growing business opportunities.
However, what makes this statistic interesting is the extremely low registered employer figures in other parts of Ghana.
For instance, Ashanti Region has just 6% of registered employers, whilst the three Northern Regions have a combination of less than 2% of registered employers.
