Vietnam's Q1 unemployment rate drops, says statistics office


HANOI, May 2 (Vietnam News/ANN): Unemployment in the first quarter of 2022 shrank by 130,000 to around 1.3 million from the previous quarter, reflecting a labour market post-pandemic recovery, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).

The market is bouncing back on account of the “living with the virus” strategy and the relatively large COVID-19 vaccination coverage among the people aged 18 and above, the GSO said.
