失業率升至3.5%

政府統計處公布, 3月至5月經季節性調整的失業率為3.5%,較2月至4月微升0.1個百分點;就業不足率也升0.1個百分點至1.4%。

 

期內總就業人數為3,664,700人,較2月至4月減約12,400人;總勞動人口為3,800,500人,較2月至4月減約6,000人。

 

勞工及福利局局長孫玉菡表示,展望未來,在外圍環境持續存在不確定性,以及市民和旅客的消費模式轉變下,不同行業的調整將繼續影響新增職位速度。未來數月會有新一批畢業生和離校人士投入勞工市場,或會進一步影響整體就業情況。

 

然而,香港經濟穩步擴張,今年實質本地生產總值增長預期為2%至3%,本地及外來註冊公司數目近月均創新高,反映本地及外地經營者繼續進駐香港市場,應會為勞工市場提供支持及維持香港經濟發展動力。
