In November 2025, China's urban registered unemployment rate recorded 5.2%, a slight increase from the previous reading and the same period last year, indicating that the job market remains resilient but under continued pressure amidst slowing economic growth. Although overall data remains stable, the unemployment rate for youth aged 16-24 fell to 16.9% from the August peak but remains significantly higher than the national average, reflecting the persistence of a structural mismatch in labor supply and demand.
