大新料港失業率首季續維持3%或以下
阿思達克 03-19 09:17
大新金融集團首席經濟及策略師溫嘉煒表示,香港12至2月平均失業率維持2.9%,連續五個月相同,符合該行及市場預期。失業人口微降至102,300人,是2019年1月以來新低;而總勞動人口和就業人數亦各減少逾2,000人,連跌五個月,但減幅是五個月來最小。 該行預期,本港失業率首季有望繼續維持在3%或以下。隨著訪港旅客回升,消費和旅遊相關活動保持平穩,加上政府致力牽頭籌辦大型盛事推動經濟,短期或增加餐飲零售業人手需求。隨著政府各項人才入境計劃的申請陸續批出,有望繼續紓緩部分行業的勞動力不足,惟能否彌補過往流失的行業工種仍有待觀察。 該行指,事實上,本港就業人口過去五個月減少近2.6萬人,勞動人口參與率降至57%,再創紀錄新低;勞工處錄得的私營機構空缺降至7.6萬多個,按年減少17.4%,顯示香港就業市場仍充滿挑戰,會留意失業率在農曆新年假期過後會否小幅回升。
