00:00The number of Filipinos with jobs increased in the first month of the year compared to the same period in 2024.

00:07The government continues to expand its efforts to meet the needs of the labor sector.

00:15The government is also committed to opening up more opportunities for business.

00:21This is what Denise Osorio reported.

00:24According to the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA,

00:28many Filipinos are looking for jobs in the first month of the year

00:31while the total number of unemployed and underemployed in the country is decreasing.

00:36The employment rate of the entire Philippines increased by 95.7% in January 2025.

00:41More than 48.49 million Filipinos have higher jobs than in January 2024 at 95.5%.

00:51Meanwhile, the unemployment rate of the country decreased by 4.3% in January 2025 from 4.5% last year.

01:00The underemployment rate also decreased from 13.3% to 13.7%.

01:05PSA Assistant Secretary Divina Gracia Del Prado explained that

01:09almost all added to the labor force are looking for jobs.

01:13Actually, the unemployment rate did not increase.

01:18In fact, even if the number of unemployed increased, the unemployment rate still decreased.

01:24So it went down to a negative 0.2 percentage point.

01:30I'm talking about year-on-year movement of our unemployment rate and levels.

01:41PSA also added that

01:43Usually, our observation is that when the employment rate in Agri and Wholesale and Retail increases,

01:49the tendency is that the underemployment rate also increases because most of those underemployed are in Agri.

01:55The Bicol Region has the highest unemployment rate of 6.5%

02:00while Zamboanga Peninsula has the lowest unemployment rate of 2.3%.

02:04However, the National Economic and Development Authority, or NEDA,

02:08said that the improvement of the labor market is considered vulnerable

02:12if the government has programs like the Enterprise-Based Education and Training Program

02:17of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, or TESDA.

02:20In order to facilitate business in the Philippines,

02:23it is in accordance with the Create More Act in the current investment climate

02:27for more opportunities for Filipinos.

02:30Aside from this, the government also strengthens the resilience of the agriculture sector

02:35through Artificial Intelligence, or AI,

02:38to prepare natural calamities and to address vulnerable employment in the agricultural sector.
