recovery of the labour market and the increase in demand, particularly in the Services and

Manufacturing sectors, fuelled business growth, resulting in higher employment and lower
unemployment. Therefore, labour market performance remained steady in 2022, in line with the
economy’s expansion.

Looking ahead at the labour force situation in 2023, Malaysia's economic growth is projected to
be modest in 2023. The increased number of tourist arrivals will continue to support the recovery
in the tourism sub-sectors along with the improving market conditions, especially in the Services
sector. As economic activities continue to expand in 2023, the labour market is expected to remain
stable.
