Around 88 percent of the positions need trained workers. Of these, 19.54 percent need a university degree or higher, while the remainder require college and vocational training school graduation.
According to FALMI, HCM City has seen improvement in many sectors, particularly technology, services, tourism and real estate. This has boosted demand and reduced unemployment.
In the first six months of the year, recruitment demand has sharply increased in sales and marketing for the industrial area and for expert personnel in the manufacturing and supply sectors. Some sectors, like manufacturing and export, have also witnessed a slight rise in recruitment demand by 5 percent on-year.
