Since the beginning of this year, the Hanoi Employment Service Center has held 130 job interview sessions, attracting more than 3,600 businesses and 25,000 prospective workers. 8,800 people were recruited, and 2,300 got contracts to work abroad in Japan, Taiwan (China), and South Korea. Meanwhile, 74,000 people obtained jobs through job replacement consultancy.
Vu Quang Thanh, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Employment Service Center, said: “Monthly salaries range from 200 USD to more than 600 USD. The offered salary for every job position is quite attractive.”
Nguyen Tay Nam, Deputy Director of Hanoi’s Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs, said: “Hanoi has generated jobs for 172,000 people, surpassing its target for this year. The labor market at the end of the year has improved compared to the beginning of the year.”
Hanoi is building a labor market database to improve supply and demand efficiency.
Vu Quang Thanh, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Employment Service Center, said there are positive signals in the job market. “From now to the end of the year, Hanoi needs to hire 35,000 to 45,000 workers, mainly for the trade, services, and production sectors. In recent months, production businesses have increased employment, with some businesses hiring up to 1,000 workers to fulfill year-end orders. The construction, office, banking, finance, and IT sectors have also increased hiring.”
Hanoi has exceeded its job generation target for this year and reduced the urban unemployment rate to below 4%.
