A significant number of economic census officers in Semarang have resigned, prompting concern and investigation. Rudi Cahyono, the Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for Semarang City, confirmed the reports of dozens of enumerators leaving their posts for the 2026 Economic Census.

The mass resignations have surfaced amid other unspecified issues, raising questions about the working conditions or specific challenges faced by the census staff. While Cahyono acknowledged the situation, further details regarding the precise reasons behind the collective departure remain unclear. The BPS is reportedly looking into the matter to understand the underlying causes.

This development could potentially impact the progress and accuracy of the 2026 Economic Census in the Semarang region. The census is a critical undertaking for gathering data on the economic landscape, and a shortage of trained personnel could hinder its effectiveness. Authorities are expected to address the situation to ensure the census proceeds smoothly.
