BANGKOK, March 2 (Reuters) - Thailand's unemployment
rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 dropped to 1.15% from 1.23%
in the previous quarter, the state planning agency said on
Thursday, as the vital tourism sector rebounds.
Employment increased 1.5% in October-December from a year
earlier, but slowing from a 2.1% rise in the September quarter,
as jobs in the service sector increased but farm sector
employment contracted, the agency said in a statement.
