HCM City businesses in need of higher recruitment

Of the total, those holding university and college degrees account for 30 % those trained in vocational schools (35%) and manual workers (35%).

FALMI Deputy Director Tran Anh Tuan said recruitment is focused on such fields as information technology (IT), electromechanics, architecture-construction engineering, industrial electricity, garments-leather shoes, tourism-restaurant-hotel, economics-finance, import-export and medical and pharmaceutical sectors.

Job seekers rose 20% from February, Tuan said, noting that growing demands from businesses would provide more opportunities for university and college graduates to get steady jobs.

The centre’s survey showed labour shortage stood 3-4% after the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday while post-Tet recruitment demand remained high to ensure smooth business operations.
