Malaysia’s labour market remains resilient in 2025, with 16.85 million people employed and the unemployment rate steady at 3.0%. However, beneath these strong headline numbers, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Investments in technology, the rise of green economy roles, and regional hiring expansion are reshaping employer demand. Candidates are being asked to bring new skills, while jobseekers across industries are striving to keep pace.
