Can't Find Workers: You Are Not Alone

Job vacancies in the service sector are at record highs, leaving many companies unable to fill key positions.

 MAS’ Macroeconomic Review highlighted that the “labour market has tightened significantly, especially in the services sectors, where job vacancy rates are at near-record highs” and “although external sources of price inflation have been benign, domestic inflationary pressures have increased in the first three quarters of this year, particularly the prices of non-traded items, such as accommodation and services”.


Forecast 2010 GDP growth is expected to moderated from 13%-15% to “a slower pace in line with its growth potential” and “will be driven more by the services sector”.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
