SWS said its survey, conducted from July 3 to 6, found adult joblessness at a record-high 45.5 percent of the adult labor force.
“This is a 28-point increase from 17.5 percent in December 2019, and a new record-high since the 34.4 percent in March 2012,” SWS said. In December 2019, SWS reported that 7.9 million Filipinos had no jobs. This means that since then, 19.4 million Filipinos have become unemployed. The survey also found that 21 percent of adult Filipinos lost their job or livelihood during the COVID-19 crisis. Another 21 percent lost their livelihood before the pandemic.
Almost 4 out of 5 Filipinos, or 79 percent, also said their quality-of-life got worse. This was in contrast to 12 percent who said their quality of life was unchanged, and only 8 percent who said life got better compared to a year ago.
Nawalan din ako ng trabaho mula April 30 until now. Mahirap, napakahirap. Walang natanggap ang pamilya ko kahit ano mang klaseng ayuda, pero I won't blame my miseries to others lalong lalo na sa kasalukuyang administrasyon. Itatakwil ko pa rin ang mga dilawan at mga komunista.👊
Of course, there's a global pandemic
Sige lang abs-cbn banat lang hindi kayo nadadala sa mga balita nyo. Bakit wala kayong balita sa mga nabigyan ng ayuda?
Under this regime, the Philippines is becoming 1 - in all the wrong areas.
Dudirty and his clowns are a true blessing to the nation. 🤡
We need more lockdowns. 2665 deaths is a perfect justification for 27,300,000 million people being unemployed. At this rate, in one year from today, all jobs will be lost and the whole country will be unemployed. Everyone will suffer because a couple of 1000 people died.
Expert sa unemployment ang rehimeng ito walang nakakapagtaka.
madadagdagan pa po 'yan ng mga kabataang hindi makakapag-aral ngayong taon :((
Haha gobyerno mismo nag tatangal ng trabaho pano laban natin jan?
We should advocate for more lockdowns and shutdowns then. That would fix it.
Did the administration really need to kill the ABS-CBN franchise in the midst of a pandemic in the face of looming recession?
