Many industries are increasing their recruitment of workers.

The sectors with strong recruitment demand include: Retail and trade; Real estate and construction; Production - processing, manufacturing, accounting for nearly 60% of total recruitment demand. Notably, the sales - business sector continues to lead with nearly 20% of recruitment demand.
