Demand for experienced, professionally skilled candidates has risen inthe Ho Chi Minh City job market, while the need for manual labour jobshas declined, the city's Human Resource Forecast and Labour MarketInformation Centre has reported.
Since early this year, jobs likeaccountancy, trading, marketing, sales, public relations, humanresources, administrative tasks, information technology, transport,logistics and import-export have attracted candidates who wanted tochange jobs. Nearly 82 percent of them had experience.
Labourdemand has remained stable, with growth of only 0.75 percent in thesecond quarter, compared with the first quarter, the centre said.
"Thismeans that enterprises have focused on retaining human resources,"according to Thoi bao Kinh te Viet Nam (Vietnam Economic Times), whichquoted the centre's report.
Recruitment demand has increased for professional and technical skills rather than for manual workers.
Demand for manual labourers accounted for 35 percent of the total, a drop of 22 percent compared with the same period last year.
Thereports also revealed that processing and production enterprises, whichhave the biggest number of manual workers, have retained their existingworkforce.
Demand for manual labourers in the first six months of this year dropped 13.5 percent year-on-year.
Inaddition, demand for workers who have primary vocational trainingcertificates was 8.5 percent of the total demand, a growth of 1.5 timescompared with the same period last year.
The demand for university graduates was 15 percent of the total.
Jobgrowth in the finance and banking sector fell by nearly one-fifth, andonly 40 percent of the jobs were for official (managerial) positions.
Theneed for technical workers in the electronics and electricity sectorsremained high, while demand for human resources staff was 30 percent ofthe total.
Demand for professional and technical skilled workersis expected to increase in the last six months of this year and in 2015when the country officially integrates with the ASEAN (Association ofSoutheast Asian Nations) labour market, in which workers from membercountries will be allowed to take jobs in other ASEAN member markets.
The centre predicts that, to the end of this year, the city will need 150,000 employees, of which 40,000 will be seasonal.
Recruitmentdemand will focus on trading, services, garments and textiles, shoemaking, tourism, consultancy – insurance, real estate and mechanics.
Ofthe total demand, manual workers will comprise 36.5 percent; labourerswith vocational certificates, 22.5 percent; and university graduates,12.5 percent.
For the rest of the year, more graduates, studentsand workers who have lost their jobs will be looking for jobs, anincrease of 10 percent over the first six months of the year.
However, employees will not be jumping from job to job as much as they have in the past, as they prefer to have a stable job.-VNA
