More white-collar jobs available in SG vs. other Asian markets: report

The Lion City also has relatively fewer blue-collar jobs.

Singapore creates more white-collar jobs than other markets in Asia, according to Indeed.

Citing an example of the gap between Singapore and other Asian markets, Indeed said 9.7% of job postings in the Lion City are in software development, whilst only 5.4% of these are in other markets.

“The difference in Singapore’s job creation from other Asian economies reflects Singapore’s status as a finance and tech hub,” said Indeed.

On the flip side, Singapore has relatively fewer blue-collar jobs than its neighbours. According to Indeed, only 3.1% of job postings in the country are retail. In other markets, retail accounts for 9.6% of job postings.

Other areas where Singapore creates relatively fewer roles include food preparation and personal care.

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.
