Unemployment rate in November slid to 3.3%

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.

The unemployment rate of Singaporean citizens and permanent residents decreased from 4.8% to 4.6%. In November, 109,500 residents were unemployed.

Meanwhile, the citizen unemployment rate decreased from 4.9% to 4.7%. In November, 94,000 citizens were unemployed.

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.
