Thailand’s unemployment rate fell to 0.76% in Q3 2025 from 0.88% in the previous quarter, easing for the second straight period, the National Economic and Social Development Council said in a statement. It was the lowest level since Q4 2014, signaling a modest increase in labor demand even as the broader economy remained fragile. Employment, however, slipped 0.5% after a marginal 0.02% rise in Q2, underscoring underlying softness. The drop in joblessness came even as the quarterly GDP contracted, suggesting resilience in the labor market, supported by seasonal hiring and momentum under the new leadership of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. source: Bank of Thailand
