Minister says it is not clear if work sickness and numbers waiting for treatment are related.
"Part of the challenge is we knew before the pandemic we had a larger number of people than the rest of the UK as a proportion who weren't active and seeking employment.
"With the pandemic we have seen a rise in the number of people who have left the labour market - and it isn't just that people have chosen they want a different balance between work and other parts of their life.
And he called on the Welsh government to "urgently tackle" long-term sickness levels which was "hampering Wales' economic potential".
