BEIJING, March 16 (Xinhua) — China's employment market remains generally stable, with the unemployment rate in cities and urban towns (UTs) estimated at 5.3 percent in January-February of this year, according to data released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
Due to the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year, the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year), the unemployment rate in cities and urban areas in China in January-February was higher than in December 2025, but this figure remained unchanged year-on-year, indicating stable employment in the country, said Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Employment at a press conference.
"The main economic indicators have improved significantly in the first two months of this year, demonstrating a favorable start for the national economy," Fu Linghui said.
According to the government's work report, China has outlined key development indicators for the current year, including the unemployment rate in cities and urban areas, calculated based on sample surveys. It is expected to be approximately 5.5 percent, with the employment growth in cities and urban areas expected to exceed 12 million.
