失業率升至3.4%

政府統計處公布,2月至4月經季節性調整的失業率為3.4%,較1月至3月微升0.2個百分點;就業不足率升至1.3%,也較1月至3月升0.2個百分點。

 

期內總就業人數為3,677,100人,較1月至3月減約15, 600人;總勞動人口為3,806,500人,較1月至3月減約9,000人。

 

勞工及福利局局長孫玉菡表示,展望未來,本港不同行業正經歷轉型期,相關失業率升降趨勢不一,但貿易摩擦近日有所緩和、內地經濟繼續增長,加上特區政府增強經濟動能的措施,以及整體經濟仍會正面增長,為勞工市場提供支持。

 

他續說,近期雖然有商鋪結業,但同時有很多新店開業,相信新興需求和消費趨勢正逐漸成形,加上訪港旅客數字顯著上升,都會為勞工市場帶來更多機會。
