Tailandia Tasa De Desempleo

Thailand’s unemployment rate stood at 0.91% in Q2 2025, edging up from 0.89% in the previous quarter and marking the highest reading since Q3 2024. The agriculture sector, which still employs nearly one-third of the workforce, has been under pressure from erratic weather conditions, while manufacturing hiring showed signs of stabilizing after several weak quarters. Meanwhile, labor demand in tourism and services continued to recover, though at a slower pace than earlier in the year, reflecting soft global demand and high household debt that weighs on domestic spending. The government has recently highlighted job creation and skill development as key priorities under its medium-term economic plan, aiming to boost productivity and support a more sustainable recovery. Meanwhile, employment growth remained subdued, edging up only 0.02% after a 0.5% annual drop in Q1.
