Data from Jan 1991 to Dec 2022Updated 11 months ago

  • Data are for mid-year.
  • Employment rate is defined as the percentage of the employed persons to the population aged fifteen years & over.
  • Residents refer to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.
  • Data for 1995, 2000 and 2005 are not available as the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not conducted in these years due to the conduct of the Population Census 2000 and General Household Surveys 1995 and 2005 by the Singapore Department of Statistics.
  • 2007 data have been adjusted based on latest revised population estimates from the Singapore Department of Statistics to facilitate comparisons with 2008 onwards.
