50,200 job vacancies recorded in 2010

The economic recovery in 2010 was met with a 36 per cent-on-year increase in employment opportunities. A record 50,200 jobs were made available as of September 2010.

According to the latest annual job vacancies report from Singapore's Ministry of Manpower, the highest number of job vacancies was for service and sales workers, which accounted for 22 per cent of total vacancies with 10,330. This is followed by professionals, with 18 per cent covering 8,270 vacancies and associate professionals and technicians with 18 per cent for 8,230 vacancies.

Overall, there was high demand for professionals, managers, executives and technicians with 44 per cent; clerical, service and sales workers with 29 per cent; and production and transport operators, cleaners and labourers: 27 per cent

The high number of job vacancies meant that the number of openings vacant for at least six months increased from 10,140 in 2009 to a five-year high of 15,360 in 2010.

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.
