With reference to the Labour Market Developments Report released by the Ministry of Manpower today, below is the response from Ms Cham Hui Fong, Assistant Secretary-General of NTUC.
“While we continue to see slower growth in employment and anticipate that more workers may be made redundant in the coming months, we noted that total employment continued to grow with improvement in productivity. Hence, to ensure sustainable employment growth, we need to push for higher productivity via jobs redesign or re-skilling.
Latest JobsBank statistics show that there are over 60,000 job vacancies across different sectors. NTUC will work with the tripartite partners to encourage working people to attend relevant training programmes so that they are equipped with the right skills to take on the available jobs as the economy restructures.”
