According to the latest labour force statistics (i.e. provisional figures for June - August 2025) released today (16th) by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD), the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stood at 3.7% in June - August 2025, same as that in May - July 2025, below the street consensus of 3.8%. The underemployment rate increased from 1.4% in May - July 2025 to 1.6% in June - August 2025.

Comparing June - August 2025 with May - July 2025, movements in the unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) in different industry sectors varied. Increases were mainly seen in the food and beverage service activities sector and manufacturing sector while decreases were mainly seen in the construction sector and professional and business services sector (excluding cleaning and similar activities). As to the underemployment rate, increases were mainly seen in the food and beverage service activities sector; and arts, entertainment and recreation sector while a decrease was mainly seen in the decoration, repair and maintenance for buildings sector.

Looking ahead, Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Chris Sun, said that while the business situations of certain sectors will continue to weigh on employment, steady growth of the Hong Kong economy as well as the Government's various measures to boost economic momentum and bolster consumption would provide support to the overall labour demand.
