Labor supply grows faster than demand (22/11)

22/11/2010 - 10 Lượt xem

Compared to the same period last year, the third quarter of 2010 saw a 34 percent jump in labor demand and 27 percent increase in supply, according to a recent survey by VietnamWorks, an online recruitment site.

“The labor supply has been growing faster than labor demand,” said Chris Harvey, CEO of VietnamWorks. “[The figures] indicate that Vietnamese jobseekers are now more proactive in finding their dream jobs.”

During the same period, demand for marketing professionals grew by 5 percent over the previous quarter. Meanwhile, the demand for

sales staff and financial professionals dropped, while the demand for administrative and IT-software professionals remained flat.

The recent increase in demand for marketing professionals was explained by the fact that competition in the post-recession period required companies to pay more attention to marketing.
