The Honorable David Agius inquired about the number of food couriers registered with Jobsplus, asking for a breakdown between Maltese and foreign workers.
In response, the Honorable Byron Camilleri, Minister for the Interior, Security, and Work, clarified that employment statistics are classified according to the International Standard Classification of Employment (ISCO-08), which does not specifically categorize ‘food couriers.’
Using related job titles, data from January 2024 shows 3,617 workers in roles potentially including food couriers: 569 Maltese, 221 from EU countries, and 2,827 from third-world countries.
This classification includes:
- 8321: Motorcyclists
- 8322: Car, van, or motorcycle drivers
