According to China’s Ministry of Labour and Social Security, China’s urban unemployed will reach 14 million by the end of this year while the number of rural Chinese who need work is increasing by six million every year.

Social Security Payments February 2023: Schedule of Payment Revealed!
In February paychecks, the first 2023 COLA increase will be shown. You should get your Social Security check and/or SSI money in February on the dates shown below.
February 1, 2023: SSI payouts for February.
February 3, 2023: Social Security payments begin for anyone who receives both SSI and Social Security or has done so since before May 1997.
February 8, 2023: Social Security benefits will begin for people whose birthdays fall on the 1st through the 10th of any given month.
February 15, 2023: Social Security benefits are paid to anyone whose birthdays fall on the 11th through the 20th of any given month.
February 22, 2023: Social Security benefits payments for people whose birthdays fall between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31.
GoBankingRates, citing Social Security Administration, said the average monthly Social Security payout in 2023 has climbed by more than $140.
The 5.9% COLA from the previous year did nothing to assist seniors in coping with the elevated expense of living. Seniors who are battling with rising prices for everything from food, gas, and housing should benefit more from the larger COLA for 2023.
However, GOBankingRates mentioned that the most recent statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that inflation continued to decline for the sixth straight month in December, falling to 6.5%.
