Soaring demand for labourers
The rush to meet end-of-year contract deadlines among producers has created a huge demand for labourers.
Do Thanh Dong, director of Bac Ninh Job Placement Centre, said that he had received orders for thousands of workers in the last few months.
However, he said the number of qualified candidates accounted for just 25 per cent of the total demand.
Nguyen Xuan Chinh, head of the Ha Noi Industrial Zones Management Board, said the number of employees working in the city’s eight industrial zones was 6,000 more than the same period last year.
He said the number of investment projects had increased this year, resulting in higher demand for labour.
Meanwhile, it is a similar story in HCM City.
