Thailand Unemployment Rises as Real Wages Decline

Thailand’s unemployment rate has climbed, with around 400,000 people now out of work as rising living costs continue to eat into purchasing power. University graduates recorded the highest unemployment rate among education groups, while underemployment and long-term joblessness also increased. Average wages slipped slightly, but the impact was more noticeable once inflation was factored in. The figures add to concerns about household finances even as overall employment numbers remain relatively strong.
