More than 400, 000 persons, or about 1 % of the working- time people, were unemployed during the first third of this year, with quitting being the best reason for their employment.
The benefits of a study on the working-age people, which showed a decrease in the number of unemployed in the first third this year compared to the same period last year, were released by National Statistical Office director-general Piyanuch Wuttisornon.
The study found some 410, 000 people unemployed in the first quarter of this year, accounting for 1 % of the workplace.
While there were 79, 000 people who had been unemployed for more than a year, it was over 4.9 % from the same period last year. According to the study, university graduates made up the majority of those who were unemployed.
According to the study, 59.25 % of those without work reported having said they had quit their jobs.
Another 16.16 % said they had closed their businesses, 13.15 % said their employment contracts had terminated, 5.47 % said they had been sacked, while 4.71 % said they were jobless because of other reasons.
According to the study, there were 40.2 million citizens of working time in this year’s second third, and 39.6 million of them had a career. The figure decreased significantly from the same time last month.
The decline was primarily caused by people not working in the agricultural industry, which was partially offset by climate problems like more extreme drought.
Additionally, there are more persons employed outside the agriculture sector than in the resort and food sectors, which is up 10.3 % over the same time period.
