Employment in South Africa increased by 10 000 quarter-on-quarter, between June and September 2022, Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) revealed in the Quarterly Employment Statistics (QES) released on Thursday.  <\/p>\n

The 0.1% increase saw employment increase from 9 974 000 in June 2022 to 9 984 000 in September 2022.<\/p>\n
