According to the survey, the use of employment offices also seems to be a common way of finding work for ex-Gazans in Jerash (16% of whom reported finding their current job in this way) and non-ex-Gazans (13%), whilst fewer ex-Gazans outside Jerash had benefitted from an employment office (5%). At the same time, very few ex-Gazans in Jerash got their current job by applying directly to their employer (5%), which was clearly more important for both ex-Gazans outside Jerash camp and other Palestinian refugees (with 14% and 16% respectively finding their current job in this way). The latter point is probably related to the better integration into the formal labour market of ex-Gazans elsewhere (private businesses) and citizen Palestinian refugees (both the private and public sectors).
