Description

Ministry of Manpower CSV of the median duration of unemployment among Singapore residents aged 15 and over, reported for June of each year from 1991 to 2025. Data for 1995, 2000, and 2005 are unavailable because the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not conducted in those years, and 2007 figures were adjusted to the latest revised population estimates.
