Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, deputy director of HCMC Center of Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labor Market Information (FALMI), said that in March 2019, businesses in the city need about 30,000 workers. Recruitment demand has been in uptrend in industries namely information technology, electricity-electronics, food processing, construction, transport-warehouse-export import, trading-sale and hotel.
According to the center, last year HCMC had nearly 45,000 newly established firms with the labor scope of 199,000 people. This year, the number of new businesses is expected to continue increasing in accordance with the city’s policy of having 500,000 enterprises by 2020. The increase in the number of businesses has created lots of new jobs.
Still the distance between job education and the market demand is very big. Of these, sales field accounting for 23 percent of recruitment demand is always in need of experienced, flexible and dynamic employees with good communication skills. Transport-warehouse-export-import and logistics services have been expanding, yet high quality human resources with good English and IT skills has failed to meet the market demand. Tourism-restaurants-hotels field continues requiring employees with technology knowledge especially to restaurant supervisors and managers.
Currently HCMC is building smart city, speeding up hi-tech fields and in dire need of employees for positions including network security, programing, application development, website design and management.
