The statistics show the employment rate is 73\.9%, up 1\.8 percentage points on the quarter, unemployment is 4\.3%, down 0\.2 percentage points, while economic inactivity is down by 1\.7 percentage points.


Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “My priority as the Economy Minister is to ensure the Welsh Government stands ready to kick\-start a strong Welsh recovery from the COVID\-19 pandemic, with the right for support Welsh businesses and workers, so that we build a stronger, greener and more prosperous economy, in a fairer Wales for everyone.
> 
> 
> “The statistics published today are encouraging, showing more people are now in work, with the number of people in work the highest it’s been since March last year, while unemployment in Wales remains below the UK average. However, we know there is still uncertainty facing the Welsh economy and labour market, due to the continuing impact of Covid and the UK’s departure from the EU.
> 
> 
> “Supporting young people is a crucial part of our work to drive Wales’ economic recovery, and the programme for government being published today by the First Minister has ambitious commitments to deliver the Young Person’s Guarantee, giving everyone under 25 in Wales the offer of work, education, training, or self\-employment. It also commits us to creating 125,000 all\-age apprenticeships.
> 
> 
> “We’re determined to work in social partnership with business and with trade unions to rebuild and strengthen our economy; protecting livelihoods and creating new jobs across Wales.”


Since the coronavirus (COVID\-19\) pandemic hit, ministers have provided in excess of £2\.5 billion funding to Welsh businesses, in a package that has been designed to complement and build on the support provided by the UK Government.


Overall, Welsh Government has provided over £400 million of business support over and above Wales’ share of UK Government spending on business support in England. It has involved tough decisions but they have been necessary to protect jobs and businesses in this crisis.


The Minister added:



> “In addition to the £2\.5 billion funding we’ve made available to Welsh businesses, we’ve also focused on providing vital skills and training support to workers.
> 
> 
> “Our Working Wales service has supported over 54,000 people during its first two years in operation, offering advice and support to people age 16 plus to find work, pursue self\-employment or find a place in education or training. In addition our Business Wales service has supported 1,000 young entrepreneurs towards self\-employment and helped business and new starts create over 10,000 jobs during the same two year period. We also made available a package of hiring incentives for employers to recruit individuals and train existing employees most affected by COVID\-19\.

> 
> “I’m also proud of the vital work our Community Employability Programmes are undertaking in our communities. Since 2015, they have supported 60,722 individuals from our most deprived communities, of whom 23,642 have gained employment. In the year to 31 March 2021 and through the height of the COVID\-19 pandemic, the programmes continued to deliver, supporting almost 12,000 individuals, with over 5,000 entering employment.”

Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> "Fy mlaenoriaeth fel Gweinidog yr Economi yw sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn barod i roi hwb cychwynnol i adferiad cryf yng Nghymru o bandemig COVID\-19, gyda'r gefnogaeth iawn i fusnesau a gweithwyr Cymru, fel ein bod yn adeiladu economi gryfach, wyrddach a mwy ffyniannus, mewn Cymru decach i bawb.

> "Mae'r ystadegau a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn galonogol, gan ddangos bod mwy o bobl bellach mewn gwaith, gyda nifer y bobl mewn gwaith yr uchaf ers mis Mawrth y llynedd, tra bod diweithdra yng Nghymru yn parhau i fod yn is na chyfartaledd y DU. Fodd bynnag, gwyddom fod ansicrwydd o hyd yn wynebu economi a marchnad lafur Cymru, oherwydd effaith barhaus Covid ac ymadawiad y DU â'r UE.
> 
> 
> "Mae cefnogi pobl ifanc yn rhan hanfodol o'n gwaith i sbarduno adferiad economaidd Cymru, ac mae gan y rhaglen lywodraethu sy'n cael ei chyhoeddi heddiw gan y Prif Weinidog ymrwymiadau uchelgeisiol i gyflawni'r Warant Pobl Ifanc, gan roi'r cynnig o waith, addysg, hyfforddiant neu hunangyflogaeth i bawb o dan 25 oed yng Nghymru. Mae hefyd yn ein hymrwymo i greu 125,000 o brentisiaethau i bob oed.

> "Rydym yn benderfynol o weithio mewn partneriaeth gymdeithasol â busnesau a chydag undebau llafur i ailadeiladu a chryfhau ein heconomi; gwarchod bywoliaethau a chreu swyddi newydd ledled Cymru."


Ers i bandemig coronafeirws (COVID\-19\) daro, mae Gweinidogion wedi darparu dros £2\.5 biliwn o gyllid i fusnesau Cymru, mewn pecyn sydd wedi'i gynllunio i ategu ac adeiladu ar y cymorth a ddarperir gan Lywodraeth y DU.


Yn gyffredinol, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu dros £400 miliwn o gymorth busnes yn ychwanegol at gyfran Cymru o wariant Llywodraeth y DU ar gymorth busnes yn Lloegr. Mae wedi cynnwys penderfyniadau anodd ond maent wedi bod yn angenrheidiol i ddiogelu swyddi a busnesau yn ystod yr argyfwng hwn.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> "Yn ogystal â'r £2\.5 biliwn o gyllid rydym wedi'i ddarparu i fusnesau Cymru, rydym hefyd wedi canolbwyntio ar ddarparu cymorth sgiliau a hyfforddiant hanfodol i weithwyr.

> "Mae ein gwasanaeth Cymru'n Gweithio wedi cefnogi dros 54,000 o bobl yn ystod ei dwy flynedd gyntaf, gan gynnig cyngor a chymorth i bobl 16 oed a throsodd i ddod o hyd i waith, mynd ar drywydd hunangyflogaeth neu ddod o hyd i le mewn addysg neu hyfforddiant. Yn ogystal, mae ein gwasanaeth Busnes Cymru wedi cefnogi 1,000 o Entrepreneuriaid ifanc tuag at hunangyflogaeth ac wedi helpu busnesau gyda’r Rhaglen Dechrau Busnes Newydd i greu dros 10,000 o swyddi yn ystod yr un cyfnod o ddwy flynedd. Gwnaethom hefyd ddarparu pecyn o gymhellion cyflogi i gyflogwyr recriwtio unigolion a hyfforddi gweithwyr y mae COVID\-19 yn effeithio fwyaf arnynt.

Ers 2015, maent wedi cefnogi 60,722 o unigolion o'n cymunedau mwyaf difreintiedig, a mae 23,642 ohonynt wedi cael gwaith. Yn y flwyddyn hyd at 31 Mawrth 2021, a thrwy’r cyfnod pan oedd y pandemig ar ei waethaf, parhaodd y rhaglenni i gyflawni, gan gefnogi bron i 12,000 o unigolion, gyda dros 5,000 yn dechrau gweithio."
