The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) announced that the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased from 2.8% in July - September 2023 to 2.9% in August - October 2023, compared with the market expectations of no change. The underemployment rate remained unchanged at 1.0% in the two periods.

Total employment decreased by around 6,900 to 3.7134 million in August - October 2023, and the labour force decreased by around 5,100 to 3.8292 million. Over the same period, the number of unemployed persons (not seasonally adjusted) increased by around 1,800 to 115,800, and the number of underemployed persons decreased by around 1,200 to 36,700.

The unemployment rates of the various sectors stayed low in general during the period. The unemployment rates of many sectors either stayed unchanged or declined slightly compared with the preceding three-month period, though the unemployment rates of some other sectors, such as the manufacturing sector and the import/export trade and wholesale sector, saw relatively visible increases.

Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said inbound tourism and local consumption would continue to underpin economic growth in the near term. The labour market should remain tight in the coming months despite some possible negative effects stemming from the difficult external environment.
