The latest data shows that in Q4 2025, employment in China's tertiary industry was 357.98 million, a slight decrease of 680,000 from 358.66 million in the previous year. Although the absolute number dropped slightly due to the contraction of the overall labor force, the service sector's share of national employment has approached 50%, continuing to play its role as the "ballast stone" for employment. Looking ahead, the government is actively promoting the capacity expansion and quality improvement of the service sector, which is expected to further create high-quality employment opportunities to alleviate structural imbalances.
