Unemployment Rate for Singapore Citizens and PRs with Postgraduate Degrees

26 Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Manpower what is the current average unemployment rate for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents whose highest attained qualification is a postgraduate degree.

Dr Tan See Leng: The annual average unemployment rate for residents whose highest qualification attained is a postgraduate degree was 2.6% in 2021. This is lower than the average unemployment rates for degree holders and all residents, which were 3.2% and 3.5% respectively in 2021.
