Infographic: Labour Market Advance Release First Quarter 2017

The seasonally adjusted resident and citizen unemployment rate was unchanged in March 2017 compared to December 2016, after rising from September 2016. Total employment contracted in the first quarter of 2017, mainly due to a decrease in Work Permit Holders in manufacturing and construction. The number of layoffs fell from the previous quarter, but remained similar to a year ago.
