BEIJING, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — China's labor market remained stable in August 2025, with the average unemployment rate based on sample surveys in cities and towns standing at 5.3 percent, up 0.1 percentage point from July 2025, according to data released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
According to the data, this figure for the first eight months of this year was 5.2 percent.
As the department noted, the increase in unemployment last month was seasonal, and in August the figure recorded was similar to that of August last year.
Employment among key population groups remained broadly stable. In August, the unemployment rate among rural migrant workers was 4.7 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-
