Figure 4 Malaysia Unemployment Rate - 2017
Comments and observations
Overall, the unemployment rate decreased from 3.5% in January 2017 to 3.3% in December 2017.
Despite there is an increase of 0.1% of unemployment rate in July, we can still observe an overall
decreasing trend of unemployment rate for Malaysia in 2017. Increase of unemployment rate might
be due to mismatch of skills between business require and skills workers are equipped with.
Generally, there is no significantly huge change or impact in the unemployment rate trend in a short
period of time.
