SINGAPORE'S unemployment rate from April to June may remain high or increase further from the previous quarter's 3.3 per cent, Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong has said.

He was speaking at a press conference where he also gave an update on the impact of the Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience (Spur).
