Jobless in November hit 76,000

But this number shows a decrease compared to the previous month, MOM claims.

According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), around 76,000 residents were unemployed in November 2021.

Overall, this dipped 0.1 percentage point from 2.6% to 2.5%, month-on-month (MoM).

Of the 76,000 jobless aged 15 and above who are actively looking for work but are not employed, 70,200 are Singaporean citizens. This is a 0.1 percentage point decline from 3.6% to 3.5%, MoM.

Meanwhile, for the residents, from 3.4% to 3.2%, 0.2 percentage point was recorded.

MOM's survey covers private households in Singapore, excluding workers living in construction sites and quarters at the workplace and persons commuting from abroad to work in Singapore.

Estimates of the total labour force are derived by combining data on residents obtained from the survey with nonresident employment data compiled from administrative records.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
