Huge worker demand in HCM City

According to the Youth Employment Service Centre of HCM City, many companies in commercial services, delivery, accounting, banking, and IT need a large number of workers now.

The centre is conducting a programme to help unemployed workers find jobs, rent cheap rooms, and get free COVID tests.

It is also working with authorities in Ninh Than, Sóc Trăng, Song Tháp, Bến Tre, and Bình Dương provinces to help people there find jobs in HCM City.

The Employment Service Centre under the city Department of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs is co-operating with labour agencies in districts to organise online job fairs to bring enterprises and workers together.

A report by the HCM City Centre for Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labour Market Information shows city businesses will need 44,000-57,000 workers in the year’s last quarter.

The centred said this is the time when businesses increase production to meet the surging demand during the Lunar New Year (Tết) holidays in the early part of the new year.

It added that demand for labour is high in trade-commerce, IT, customer care, tourism, hotels and restaurants, electricity, food, and construction. — VNS
