The current indicator for employment benefits has climbed to 1.20%, up from 0.80% in the previous quarter that ended in December 2024. This substantial rise highlights a quarter-over-quarter improvement, signaling positive economic momentum as the country looks to bolster its workforce.
Previously, the indicator had plateaued at 0.80% in the last quarter of 2024, but the newfound growth in the first quarter of 2025 marks a promising shift.
