Singapore employment up by 20,500

Total gains in the first nine months came in at 82,500, in contrast to an almost flat growth of 100 over the same period last year when the economy was in recession.

The Singapore economy continued to create jobs in the third quarter of 2010, though the pace has eased from the robust gains earlier in the year, according to the Ministry of Manpower. Employment rose by 20,500 in the third quarter of 2010, after growing by 24,900 in the preceding and 36,500 in the first quarter.

Services added 21,300 workers in the third quarter of 2010, less than the gains of 25,400 in the preceding quarter. Manufacturing employment fell (-700), though the decline eased from the previous quarter (-2,300). Construction employment was flat after slight gains in the second quarter, due to the completion of several large building projects such as the Integrated Resorts and fewer new projects coming on stream.

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.
