geovalin Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 In a tumultuous period for the garment industry, the year 2020 brought the closure of 129 factories in the Kingdom, affecting over 70,000 workers while 112 new factory openings created more than 20,000 jobs. Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training spokesman Heng Sour shared details with The Post on January 10, citing the Covid-19 pandemic as the primary cause for the loss of 71,202 jobs, of which 57,794 were held by women.
