Looking for a job? Here are sectors seeing increasing demand for workers

One sector is healthcare.

In the last three months, there has been an increasing demand for professionals in the healthcare sector and the hospitality and tourism field, job portal Indeed has found.

Since May, job postings for physicians and surgeons have increased 52.6%, whilst those looking for nurses rose by 11.7%.

Meanwhile, postings in the hospitality and tourism sector are up by 16.1% over the past three months.

Other sectors that have seen a rise in hiring are insurance (+13.0%), veterinary (+10.5%) and real estate (+10.4%).

From the new postings, Indeed observed a decline in remote opportunities.

By the end of August, the percentage of postings indicating or explicitly mentioning phrases such as "work remotely" or "work from home" was at 5.2, a decline from the 11.1% seen in early December.

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.
