A significant majority of Thai workers are open to exploring new job opportunities despite an uncertain global economic climate, a recent study by recruitment firm Michael Page has found.

 

The Talent Trends report, which surveyed 942 individuals in Thailand, revealed that over half of the respondents are actively seeking or planning to find new employment within the next six months.

 

The study also found that 33% of participants are unsure about whether to search for a new job, but it is predicted that job hunting will continue to rise this year, despite increasing volatility in the global economy.

 

The recruitment agency observed that the willingness to consider new opportunities has not been affected by the worsening global economic outlook. Instead, there is a direct link between poor economic performance and an increased desire to look for a new job.

According to the research, following a high level of career migration during and after the pandemic, individuals are now focused on finding job opportunities that best align with their personal needs and aspirations, in pursuit of their ideal work-life balance.

Must have A/C; places to hide away from doing any work; opportunities to scorn potential customers; no English required except 'No have'.

But combine those 2 somehow and you get a headline of 90% seeking a new job........right........

Who writes this rubbish ?

I would guess my local village folk fall outside the 90%.

They are too bizzy working trying to put food on the table rather than swanning around the local (?) recruitment agency.

Rubbish article.
