+ May 01, 2021 DESPITE experiencing a 7.9 percent unemployment rate in Central Visayas during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic last year, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) 7 said they are now seeing signs of slow growth in employment this year.
But PSA 7 officials warned that the unemployment rate in the region could increase again if workplaces fail to strictly implement health protocols to protect their workers from coronavirus disease 2019 transmission.
During the PSA 7’s Economic Performance Report, Leopoldo Alfanta Jr., PSA 7 chief statistical specialist, said that as of January this year, the employment rate was 92.1 percent.
Before the pandemic, Central Visayas maintained an employment rate of above 95 percent.
