Chart of the Day: Unemployment rate for people under 30 highest in June

Students aged 15-24 looked for vacation jobs.

This chart from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) shows the resident unemployment rate in June was the highest for those below 30 years old at 7.8% YoY.

It increased from last year's 7.1%.

MOM said the increase in unemployment among those aged below 30 was due to more students aged 15-24 looking for vacation jobs.

People within the 50 and over age ranged followed with a rate of 3.7%, up from last year's 3.4%.

The unemployment rate amongst those 40 to 49 years old reached 3.2%, unchanged from last year.

Only unemployment rate for the 30 to 39-year-olds declined YoY by 3.0% from 3.4%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
