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.
