00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has promised that the government and private sector will continue to help
00:07to lower the number of Filipinos who have no job.
00:11Alvin Baltazar, Radyo Pilipinas, with the country's latest news.
00:17Even though the unemployment rate in the country continues to fall,
00:20despite the fact that many Filipinos are working,
00:23President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said that the government's efforts
00:27to improve the state of employment in the country will continue.
00:32The Ecotibo tree was also given to reduce the number of Filipinos who have no job.
00:37The government and private sector will continue to help
00:41to create more job opportunities for Filipinos.
00:47The unemployment rate in the country fell to 3.2% in November 2024.
00:53However, the President said that he will continue to do his administration of measures
00:59not only to increase the percentage of those who are looking for a job.
01:03The President also said that he needs to be able to meet the growing demand of the labor market.
01:07So, if we are talking about a skill set,
01:09he really needs to increase it through risk-killing,
01:15where the TESDA will help here.
01:18We are lowering the unemployment rate.
01:20The number of non-employed Filipinos is decreasing.
01:26However, we are not yet done with that.
01:29And following the good results of the job fairs that were held recently,
01:33President Marcos said that he wants to expand this activity.
01:39Every month, the President said, he will be able to hold this kind of activity
01:43that is not only the National Capital Region of Concentration.
01:46The Chief Executive also wants the job fairs to be held in different parts of the country
01:51or in the provinces.
01:52And for now, the job seekers in Manila don't need to go out to apply for jobs.
02:00Our plan is that we will hold this kind of activity every month
02:08so that they can go to Manila,
02:12and not only to Manila, but also to other places.
02:14So that they don't need to go to Manila, to NCR,
02:20and we will go to the job seekers in different provinces.
02:26For Balitang Banbansa, Alvin Balthazar of Radyo Pilipinas.
