Singapore’s unemployment rate held near the lowest level in three years last quarter as the economy added 31,900 jobs, a report showed today, said Reuters.
The seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate fell to 2% in the three months through September from 2.1% the previous quarter, the Ministry of Manpower said in a statement today. That matched October’s preliminary estimate. The number of jobs added last quarter was less than the initial assessment of 32,300.
