South Korea's jobless rate fell slightly in May on a rise in the number of employees in the health and accommodation sectors, with the unemployment rate for young people still remaining high, a government report showed Wednesday.

    The unemployment rate in Asia's fourth-largest economy stood at 3.7% last month, compared with 3.9% tallied in April, according to the report compiled by Statistics Korea.

    The seasonally adjusted jobless rate stayed at 3.7% in May, according to South Korea's (Yonhap) News Agency.

    Job creation edged up from the previous month. The number of employed people stood at 26.45 million in May, up 261,000 from a year earlier, higher than the previous month's 252,000 gain. The unemployment rate for young people, aged between 15 and 29, reached 9.7% last month, down from April's 10.9%.  However, it marked the highest number for the month of May. 

    The unemployment rate for those aged under 29 hit an all-time high of 12.5% in February as tens of thousands of young people applied for a nationwide civil service exam at the time, overlapping with the college winter vacation and graduation season.

    Meanwhile, South Korean shipbuilders, including Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., have been under severe financial strain in the face of a fall in new orders amid a protracted slump in the world's economy.

    They announced self-rescue plans, including asset sales and downsizing, while the government decided to inject some 12 trillion won about (US$10 billion) into state-run policy lenders to finance the restructuring process.

    The finance ministry said it will put policy priority on job creation as part of its efforts to deal with downside pressures.
