Singapore job postings fall 4.8% in July

Despite, overall hiring activity remains steady.

Singapore’s job market recovery hit a snag as job postings dropped 4.8% year on year in July, according to an Indeed report.

However, overall hiring activity remains steady as it is 36% higher than pre-pandemic levels.

The sports (+173%), pharmacy (+122%), and education (+117%) sectors saw a significant rise in job postings compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The hospitality and tourism sector (+30%), civil engineering (+15.6%), and installation and maintenance (+9.5%) also saw increases, recovering from declines three months ago.

Meanwhile, postings related to personal care and home health (-32.9%), dental (-31.0%), physicians & surgeons (-15.8%), and nursing (-8.6%) dropped in the past month.

Moreover, postings for IT infrastructure (-22.4%) and data and analytics (-19.6%) roles declined.

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.
