South Korea’s job market continued to improve in May, with the employment rate for people aged 15 to 64 rising to 70.5%, the highest on record for that age group. The country added 245,000 jobs compared to a year ago, bringing the total number of employed people to 29.16 million. Most of the gains came from jobs in healthcare, professional services and finance, while sectors like farming, construction and manufacturing saw job losses. The overall unemployment rate fell to 2.8%, down from 3.0% a year earlier, with noticeable declines among workers in their 30s and people aged 60 and older.
