It declined to 3.8 per cent, from 3.9 per cent in the preceding month.\nMeanwhile, unemployment among Singapore citizens also dropped to 4.0 per cent, from 4.1 per cent previously.\nThe overall unemployment rate fell to 2.8 per cent, from 2.9 per cent in April.\nAbout 88,600 residents were unemployed in May, including 79,000 citizens. This is down from the 92,100 unemployed residents, including 82,800 citizens, in April.\nSingapore's unemployment rates peaked in September last year and persisted through October, before falling steadily since November.\nThe downward trend of unemployment ratesis a good sign that the labour market is steadily improving, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng.\n\"However, we remain cautiously optimistic about the situation as we continue to see resurgence of the virus globally and have also yet to see the full impact of phase two (heightened alert) restrictions, which began in mid-May,\" said Dr Tan in a Facebook post on Thursday.\nHe added that the road to recovery may be a long one.\n\"As we restructure and rejuvenate our economy so that we can create good jobs, I urge businesses to tap on available support such as the Jobs Growth Incentive to expand local hiring, as well as existing schemes to innovate and transform their work processes,\" he said. \"At the same time, I want to encourage our jobseekers, who have continuously shown resilience and willingness to try out new roles and sectors during this difficult time.\"\nJobseekers who need help with their job search can approach Workforce Singapore and the National Trades Union Congress' Employment and Employability Institute.\nMOM and WSG will continue to work with the various economic agencies to create new opportunities and match workers to them, said Dr Tan. \"Together, we will press on, towards the road of recovery.\"","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":158921663,"gmtCreate":1625124491552,"gmtModify":1703736607382,"author":{"id":"4087932884013320","authorId":"4087932884013320","name":"BlueDragon","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/431c326e19a16844e147d10866565f27","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4087932884013320","authorIdStr":"4087932884013320"},"htmlText":"Good
