Released on: 29/1/2026 10:30 AM

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Report: Labour Market Advance Release Second Quarter 2025​


KEY FINDINGS

Advance estimates showed that Singapore’s labour market continued to expand in 4Q 2025 and the full year of 2025, alongside continued economic growth. Total employment growth in 2025 was stronger than in 2024, for both residents and non-residents. Unemployment and retrenchments remained low. Looking ahead to 1Q 2026, business expectations suggest that the labour market will continue to expand, but firms are becoming more cautious in their hiring plans, even as labour market conditions remain relatively tight. ​
