Employment increased by 39,000 between March and June, StatsSA reveals.
Employment climbed from 10 039 000 in March 2023 to 10 078 000 in June 2023, an increase of 39 000 or 0.4% quarter over quarter.
This is supported by Statistics South Africa’s most recent Quarterly Employment Statistics report, which was made public on Thursday.
This, according to the report, was primarily brought on by growth in mining (2,000 or 0.4%), business services (12 000 or 0.5%), community services (40,000 or 1.4%), and power (1,000 or 1.7%).
“Between March and June 2023, total (full- and part-time) employment rose by 0,4% or 39 000, reaching 10 078 000 employed people. This increase in employment was mainly driven by the growth in community services (40 000), business services (12 000), mining (2 000) and electricity (1 000). However, industries such as manufacturing (-10 000), transport (-3 000), trade (-2 000) and construction (-1 000) experienced a decline in employment.
The number of full-time workers decreased by 25 000 in the quarter ending June 2023, dropping from 8 816 000 in March 2023 to 8 791 000. ” read the Quarterly Employment Statistics report.
