KUALA LUMPUR: The number of unemployed in November 2021 reduced to below 700,000 persons for the first time, the lowest since April 2020, according to the Statistics Department.

In a statement, chief statistician Dato Seri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the labour force situation in November 2021 held steady with continuing employment growth and reducing the number of unemployed persons as the revival of more economic and social activities had stimulated a positive vibe to the labour market.
