According to a recent Social Weather Stations survey, net optimism on job availability rose to “excellent” with +43 in June 2019 from “very high” with +37 in March 2019.“We expect this level of optimism to grow further especially with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s signing into law Republic Act 11261, popularly known as the First-Time Jobseekers Assistance Act, last May 2019,” presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a statement.
Panelo said the administration viewed the law as an “investment” of the government in the youth, with 1.3 million first-time jobseekers expected to benefit from it every year. Meanwhile, the SWS also found that adult joblessness was up by one point to 20.7% in June 2019 from 19.7% in March 2019.Panelo called the development “seasonal” because the recent data was gathered when students had just graduated.
