Singapore’s labour market remained stable in the first quarter of 2026, with the unemployment rate unchanged at 2.0%. According to the latest update released on 15 June 2026, the headline figure matched the previous reading of 2.0% recorded for the same period.
The flat reading suggests that labour market conditions have neither significantly tightened nor weakened over the quarter, pointing to a steady balance between job creation and workforce participation. With unemployment holding at a relatively low level, attention is likely to focus on how broader economic developments in 2026 will affect hiring momentum and job security in the coming quarters.
