初步估计显示,新加坡经季节性调整的失业率从上一季度的2.0%微升至2025年第二季度的2.1%。这标志着自2024年第一季度以来的最高水平,尽管这仍然反映了经济持续增长下劳动力市场的弹性。本季度总就业人数大幅增长(8400人对第一季度的2300人),这是由于居民和非居民就业人数都有较大增长。与此同时,裁员人数保持稳定(3500人对3590人),大多数行业的裁员人数相似或更低。企业重组或改组仍然是裁员的主要原因。然而,一些外向型行业,特别是专业服务和信息通信行业,继续出现疲软迹象。展望未来,持续的全球经济不确定性可能会影响招聘和工资增长,特别是在受外部需求影响的行业。
Singapore’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate edged up to 2.1% in the second quarter of 2025, from 2.0% in the previous quarter, a preliminary estimate showed. This marked the highest level since the first quarter of 2024, though it still reflects a resilient labor market amid continued economic growth. Total employment rose significantly during the quarter (8,400 vs 2,300 in Q1), driven by larger gains in both resident and non-resident employment. Meanwhile, the number of retrenchments remained stable (3,500 vs 3,590), with most sectors seeing similar or lower levels. Business reorganization or restructuring remained the leading cause of job cuts. However, signs of softening continued to emerge in some outward-oriented sectors, particularly in professional services and information and communications. Looking ahead, persistent global economic uncertainty may weigh on hiring and wage growth, especially in sectors exposed to external demand.
