(Yicai Global) July 16 -- China's surveyed urban unemployment rate has moved down for two months in a row by June as the country's Covid-19 epidemic is under control, according to a spokeswoman of the National Bureau of Statistics.

The rate was 5.7 percent last month, instead of May's 5.9 percent.

Some 5.6 million new jobs were created in urban areas, while the country had 177.5 million migrant workers by the end of June, Liu Aihua added.
