Singapore's Population Hits 6.11 Million, Driven by Foreign Workers
Imagine Singapore as a big city.
This city is getting bigger!
The number of people living there has reached a record high of 6.11 million.
Most of the new people coming to the city are foreign workers.
These workers are needed for jobs in construction, shipbuilding, and other important industries.
The government is also building more houses.
Even though the city is growing, the number of people without jobs is still very low.
The economy is also growing a little bit faster, but may slow down because of other countries' taxes.
This increase is causing some concern among voters, since Singapore is small and expensive.
Singapore's population reached 6.11 million in June.
The population grew 1.2% compared to the previous year.
The increase was primarily due to the growth in foreign workers.
The number of foreign workers reached 1.91 million.
Unemployment rates remained low at 2% in June.
