Which jobs are still seeing growth in Singapore?

This is amidst the overall drop of 2.5% in job postings.

Job postings in 20% of occupational categories, including marketing, saw significant growth despite an overall decline.

Whilst Singapore job postings fell by 2.5% in August, reversing July’s gains and standing 11.8% lower than a year ago, certain occupational categories saw notable growth, according to Indeed.

Marketing roles led the surge in job postings with a 38% increase over the past three months, followed by veterinary (+28%) and sports (+15%) positions. Human resources also experienced growth, with job postings up by 11%.

However, some categories experienced sharp declines. Childcare job postings fell by 53%, cleaning and sanitation dropped by 33%, social science positions decreased by 30%, and security and public safety roles saw a 27% decline. These drops align with recent trends in the market over the past three months.

Job postings remain 56% higher than pre-pandemic levels, with the majority of sectors still maintaining a robust presence above baseline levels. Despite the hiring slowdown in some areas, competition for talent across industries continues to drive demand in key roles.

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.
