本港最新失業率升至3.5% 符預期
阿思達克 06-17 16:37
根據政府統計處公佈,經季節性調整的失業率,由今年2月至4月的3.4%上升至今年3月至5月的3.5%,符合市場預期。就業不足率亦由今年2月至4月的1.3%上升至今年3月至5月的1.4%。 與今年2月至4月比較,在今年3月至5月期間,大多數主要經濟行業的失業率(不經季節性調整)均見上升,其中建造業,零售業和地產業有相對明顯的升幅。就業不足率方面,上升主要見於建造業和運輸業。 總就業人數由今年2月至4月的3,677,100人,下跌至今年3月至5月的3,664,700人,減少約12,400人。同期的總勞動人口亦由3,806,500人下跌至3,800,500人,減少約6,000人。 失業人數(不經季節性調整)由今年2月至4月的129,400人上升至今年3月至5月的135,800人,增加約6,400人。同期的就業不足人數亦由47,600人上升至53,600人,增加約6,000人。 勞工及福利局局長孫玉菡評論最新失業數字時表示,相較上一個三個月期間,今年3月至5月經季節性調整的失業率微升0.1個百分點至3.5%。就業不足率亦微升0.1個百分點至1.4%。勞動人口和總就業人數分別進一步減少至3,800,500人和3,664,700人。 展望未來,孫玉菡說,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的背景下,不同行業的調整將繼續影響新增職位的速度。此外,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,港府欣見香港經濟穩步擴張,今年實質本地生產總值增長預期爲2%至3%,而且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。這些正面發展應會爲勞工市場提供支持及維持香港經濟發展動力。
