The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Hong Kong from April to June was 3.5%, while the underemployment rate remained at 1.4%.

On July 17, the latest labor force statistics released by the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department (i.e. provisional figures for April to June 2025) showed that the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Hong Kong for April to June 2025 was 3.5%, the same as the previous period of March to May 2025. The underemployment rate also remained unchanged at 1.4% during both periods. Comparing April to June 2025 with March to May 2025, the unemployment rates in various industries in Hong Kong (not seasonally adjusted) showed mixed changes, with decreases mainly in the arts, entertainment and recreation sector, as well as the professional and business services sector (excluding cleaning and similar activities); and increases mainly in the construction and food and beverage service activities sector. The underemployment rates in each industry also showed varying changes, but the changes were generally small. The total number of employed persons decreased from 3,664,700 in March to May 2025 to 3,657,300 in April to June 2025, a decrease of approximately 7,400 persons. The total labor force also decreased from 3,800,500 persons to 3,793,500 persons during the same period, a decrease of approximately 7,000 persons. The number of unemployed persons in April to June 2025 (not seasonally adjusted) was 136,200 persons, similar to the figure of 135,800 persons in March to May 2025. The number of underemployed persons decreased from 53,600 persons in March to May 2025 to 52,600 persons in April to June 2025, a decrease of approximately 1,000 persons. Secretary for Labour and Welfare of Hong Kong, Law Yuet-han, stated that the unemployment rate and underemployment rate for April to June 2025 were the same as the previous three-month period, but different industries in Hong Kong are undergoing transformation, resulting in varying trends in unemployment rates. Looking ahead, he said: "The trend of the unemployment rate will depend on the overall economic performance. Graduates and school leavers entering the labor market during the summer period may affect the overall employment situation. However, the Hong Kong economy continues to expand, which should provide support for the labor market."
