BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — China's labor market remained generally stable in July 2025, with the urban unemployment rate in July standing at 5.2 percent, up 0.2 percentage points from June, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Friday.
According to the agency, in the first seven months of 2025, the unemployment rate in cities and urban-type settlements also averaged 5.2 percent.
"Influenced by factors such as the graduation season, the unemployment rate in urban surveys showed a seasonal increase," NBS official Fu Linghui said at a press conference.
However, he said the employment situation among key population groups remained stable overall. In July 2025, the unemployment rate among rural migrant workers was 4.9 percent, below the national average.
China's 2025 target calls for more than 12 million new jobs to be created in cities and towns to keep the unemployment rate below 5.5 percent by the end of the year. -0-
