00:00 The number of Filipinos who have no job increased this year according to the Philippine Statistics Authority.

00:06 It also came out in the data that the number of women in the labor force is less.

00:11 Some applicants filed for a job fair in Pasay this International Women's Day.

00:16 It's harder to find a job if you're a woman.

00:19 Maki Polido was right!

00:24 In the midst of high bills and payments, the number of Filipinos who lost their jobs increased this January 2024.

00:32 The unemployment rate was 4.5% in January 2024 compared to 4.2% in October 2023

00:40 according to the Labor Force Survey of the Philippine Statistics Authority.

00:43 According to the PSA, from 2.09 million in October, the number of unemployed increased to 2.15 million.

00:52 The number of underemployed or those looking for additional jobs or additional hours of work increased.

01:00 According to the PSA, this is because of the end of Christmas and New Year season when there are a lot of rockets and sidelines.

01:07 We really have a seasonality.

01:09 Our employed persons increased in the fourth quarter and it decreased in the first quarter.

01:17 According to the Labor Force participation in January 2024, 72.9% are men and 49.3% are women.

01:26 According to the historical data of the PSA, the number of women who are employed increased if there are rockets or sidelines before Christmas.

01:34 It's just increasing. There are additional things.

01:37 Usually, when the fourth quarter increases, it closes to 53 to 55% due to seasonal jobs.

01:48 But when it's normal, it will go back to 50%.

01:55 According to some of the women we talked to in a job fair in Pasay City, it's really hard to find a job now.

02:02 But it's harder if you're a woman.

02:04 In the search of Decibel, she noticed that she's looking for a small man even if the position is housekeeping.

02:12 I'm just thinking why men are the only ones who need a man. If a woman can do it.

02:18 Rhea suspects that she was not accepted to apply as a call center agent because she has children.

02:24 I was asked who will take care of your children if you're hired. I said I have someone at home.

02:35 They still don't want to.

02:37 The Department of Labor and Employment is just following the prerogative of companies in choosing their employees.

02:44 But there should be no discrimination.

02:47 If you're qualified, you should not be dependent on hiring, gender, status or age.

02:53 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok Tlaloc, 24 Hours.
