More Jobseekers Than Job Openings In Q2

If you have been keeping abreast of the local news lately, you would have noticed that the employment situation in Singapore have turned for the worst. Here’s a brief overview of what has happened:

  • For the first time since June 2012, there were more job seekers than job openings during the second quarter.
  • Nearly 3 out of 4 employers have no plans to hire for the next quarter.
  • More workers were laid off – 9,510 workers were made redundant in the first half of the year, the highest since 2009.
  • As the economy continues to restructure, displaced workers are strongly encouraged to pick up new skills in order to stay relevant.
