失業率微升至3.7%

政府統計處公布,5月至7月經季節性調整的失業率由4月至6月的3.5%輕微上升至3.7%;就業不足率則維持於1.4%。

 

期內總就業人數為3,671,300人,較4月至6月增加約14,000人;總勞動人口為3, 816,200人,增加約22,700人。

 

勞工及福利局局長孫玉菡表示,失業人數上升部分原因是應屆畢業生和離校人士投入勞動市場。

 

展望未來,孫玉菡表示,香港經濟持續增長,應可帶動職位增加,為應屆畢業生和離校人士創造更多就業機會。雖然各行業的失業率仍然會取決於其經營環境,但政府多項推動經濟增長、提振消費氣氛和吸引投資的措施,預期會為整體勞工需求提供支持。
