## Next release

The next China Unemployment Rate release is scheduled for Oct 19, 2026 at 10:00 Asia/Shanghai. This page updates with the official value the moment the announcement is published.

China Unemployment Rate printed 5.3% in August 2026, a change of 0.1 percentage points from 5.2%. The value sits above the previous reading, so the important market question is whether it confirms the prevailing trend or forces a reassessment of CNY macro pricing.
