November has seen the first decline in unemployment rate in 2020.
Singapore’s overall unemployment rate fell to 3.3% in November, from 3.6% the month prior, according to figures published by the Ministry of Manpower on 8 January.
The drop was noted as the first in 2020, possibly punctuating the worst for the labour market amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
