THE UNINCORPORATED NON-AGRICULTURAL sector recorded a notable 15.5% year-on-year growth in employment during the January-March quarter of 2026.
The surge was primarily driven by the “other services” sector, which posted more than 31% y-o-y employment growth, according to quarterly data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) on Thursday. Employment in the informal sector also grew 23.6% over the previous quarter.
