The Government of Malaysia still needs Indonesian workers (migrant workers) the origin of the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) to work in a number of companies in the neighboring countries.

The unemployment rate in the NAD is currently 9.8 percent, or a total of 171,424 people, consisting of 90,621 women and 80,803 men, while the labor force reached 1,742,185 people. Meanwhile, the number of migrant workers NAD, which is now legally working in Malaysia around 1,000 people that almost 95 percent are women.
