More positive job market

The Hanoi Employment Service Center assessed that growth expectations are gradually shifting from modest to more positive scenarios. International organizations also highly appreciated the strong growth of the Vietnamese economy.

The rapid economic recovery based on three main pillars: export - consumption - investment creates great momentum for the recovery of the Vietnamese labor market in general and Hanoi in particular.

The center forecasts that some industries with high recruitment demand include: Wholesale and retail up 4.5% compared to the previous month; processing and manufacturing industry; finance, banking and insurance activities.

However, there are some industries that have reduced recruitment needs such as scientific and technological professional activities, finance, banking, insurance, administrative activities and support services...
