Worker shortage likely to continue
HCM City continues to face a severe human-resource shortage with only 50 per cent of managerial jobs and 60 to 65 per cent of other jobs expected to be filled by year-end, a survey has found.
The HCM City Centre for Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labour Market Information, which surveyed 27 industries, said the demand for workers was rising with the recovery in the economy.
The sharpest rise in demand is seen in sectors like food processing, home appliances manufacture, interior decoration, minor construction works and, with Tet (the lunar New Year) approaching, for seasonal workers like waiters in food and beverage outlets and shop assistants.
The survey found the November manpower-demand index in the manufacturing and processing sectors rising four times from the previous month and the demand for managers rising by 1.3 times.
The manpower shortage is a problem that has persisted in the last few months.
