MANILA, PHILIPPINES
(UPDATED) The Philippines' unemployment rate manages to decline even as
the coronavirus pandemic drags on, according to the government
Unemployment eased to 10% in July, equivalent to around 4.6 million jobless
Filipinos, the Philippine Statistics Authority said on Thursday, September 3.
The latest figure is lower than the 17.7% last April, which is the highest
unemployment rate on record.
The total number of unemployed persons went up by 2.2 million from July
2019, but still lower than the 7.3 million recorded in April 2020.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, unemployment was only at 5.3% in
January, or 2.4 million people, and 5.1% in April 2019 or 2.3 million people.
Underemployment, or the number of people who have jobs but are looking
for more to meet needs, also went down to 17.3% in July from the 18.9% in
April.
The total number of underemployed persons in July 2020 stood at 7.1 million,
which is 1.3 million more than the 5.8 million in July 2019. This is also higher
than the recorded 6.4 million in April 2020.
The labor force participation rate among Filipinos 15 years old and above is
at 61.9% or 45.9 million people. This is the proportion of the working-age
population that is working or actively looking for work.
The National Capital Region recorded the highest unemployment rate at
15.8%, while the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(BARMM) recorded the lowest at 3.8%.
For underemployment, Mimaropa posted the highest rate at 27.2%, while the
