Summary: Job vacancies in Singapore eased to 69,200 in September, driven by reduced labour churn and slower hiring rather than rising retrenchments. While total employment grew, unemployment rates varied by age group, with younger and older workers seeing declines, but those in their 40s and 50s experiencing slight increases. Retrenchments remained low, concentrated in specific sectors, as employers opted for short-work weeks or temporary layoffs.
