Naglabas ng bagong tala ang Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA) ngayong Miyerkules, Setyembre 10 para ipakita ang highlights ng July 2025 Labor Force Survey.
Ayon sa tala ng PSA, makikita ang pagtaas ng bilang ng mga Pilipinong walang trabaho mula sa 4.1 porsyento noong Abril 2025 patungo sa 5.3 porsyento noong Hulyo 2025.
Nangangahulugan itong tumaas sa 2.59 milyon ang bilang ng mga Pilipinong walang trabaho kumpara sa 2.06 milyon na tala noong Abril.
“In July 2025, the unemployment rate was estimated at 5.3 percent, higher than the unemployment rate of 4.7 percent in July 2024 and 4.1 percent in April 2025.

Dahilan ito para bumaba ang employment rate sa bansa nitong Hulyo 2025 sa 94.7 porsyento kumpara sa naitala ng PSA noong Hulyo 2024 na 95.3 porsyento at 95.9 porsyento naman noong Abril 2024.

Bukod pa rito, ipinakita rin ng PSA ang labor force participation rate (LFPR) ng mga Pilipinong may edad 15 pataas na nagkaroon ng trabaho mula noong nakaraang taon.
Mas kumaunti umano ang bilang ng mga Pilipinong nagkaroon ng trabaho sa 48.64 milyon ngayong Hulyo kumpara sa naitala nila noong Hulyo 2024 na 50.06 milyon at 50.74 milyon naman noong Abril 2024.
“The estimated LFPR in July 2025 translates to a total of 48.64 million Filipinos aged 15 years and over who were in the labor force. In July 2024, the number of individuals aged 15 years old and over who were in the labor force was 50.06 million, while 50.74 million in April 2025,” ayon sa PSA.
Samantala, tumaas naman ang porsyento ng underemployment rate sa bansa mula 12.1 porsyento noong Hulyo 2024 patungo sa 14.8 porsyento nitong Hulyo 2025.
Nangangahulugang ang 6.80 milyon sa kabuuang 46.05 milyong bilang ng mga may trabahong Pilipino ay mayroong hihigit sa isa pang trabaho.
“The underemployment rate in July 2025 rose to 14.8 percent, from 12.1 percent in July 2024 and 14.6 percent in April 2025.
“In terms of magnitude, 6.80 million of the 46.05 million employed individuals expressed the desire to have additional hours of work in their present job or to have an additional job, or to have a new job with longer hours of work in July 2025,” ayon ito sa PSA.
