The Indonesian economy has performed remarkably well during the past decade, emerging as a vibrant democracy, a strong economy and a serious player on the international stage. The economy rebounded strongly after the financial crisis that swept through Asia in 1997 and 1998, growing steadily at an average rate of 5.2 percent a year between 2000 and 2010. Projections indicate that Indonesia`s prominence in the global economy will continue to grow. Indonesia`s evolving economy will need new skills to support its growth. But, Indonesia facing challenges, both in Labour Surpluses and Labour Shortage. Indonesia has labour surpluses in Sales workers occupation level and Community, Social and Personal Services sector of industry. We indicate this condition cause by fluidity of labour market and growing of creative economy sector. Meanwhile, Indonesia has labour shortage in service workers occupation level and Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Forestry Workers, Fishermen and Hunters on main industry. This condition in line to the trends in employment by occupation, which shows growing of services workers and trends in employment by main industry, which shows growing of Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services employment, that reflect of services industry. Both in labour surpluses and labour shortages, Indonesia need to provide right policy to fill the gap and utilize this condition to enhance Indonesia economic performance.
