Job market outlook is brighten for professionals

The job market outlook remains bright, particularly for white collar employees, but may be stabilizing.

Some 35,500 jobs were unfilled in September, or a vacancy rate of 2.4 per cent, according to data released yesterday by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

This third-quarter scenario was "better" than a year earlier when 29,900 jobs went begging in September 2006, or a 2.2 per cent vacancy rate. But June this year saw higher vacancies - the 37,400 unfilled posts were a 10-year high.

MOM said that the manpower shortage in Q3 was larger for professionals, managers, executives and technicians (usually known as PMETs) and clerical, sales and service staff. Their vacancy rate of 2.7 per cent was markedly higher than the 1.8 per cent for production operators, cleaners and laborers.

Across sectors, more jobs in services (2.8 per cent of total manpower demand) went unfilled in September, compared with manufacturing (1.8 per cent) and construction (1.4 per cent).

Wages continued to rise, but at a slower pace. After accelerating for three straight quarters, monthly earnings rose a slower 6.9 per cent in Q3, down from 8.5 per cent in Q2. In real terms, after adjusting for inflation, Q3 wage growth was 4 per cent, down from Q2's 7.5 per cent.

The latest data sees the Q3 job creation figure revised up to 58,600 from an early estimate of 57,600 announced last month. This, again, was higher than a year ago but below Q2's record high of 64,400. In all, the first nine months of 2007 saw the net addition of 172,400 jobs to the economy - not too far from the 2006 total of 176,000.

Retrenchment numbers have also been updated, and going by the 5,709 total for the first three quarters, the number of lay-offs in 2007 should be sharply lower than last year's 9,388.

As earlier reported, the jobless rate eased to a near-decade low of 1.7 per cent. And at 8,500, the number of "long-term unemployed" residents - those job-hunting for 25 weeks or more - also fell to a 10-year low in September.

About the only blemish in the labour market report is productivity, which went from a marginal 0.4 per cent gain in Q2 to flat in Q3.

Singapore needs immigrants to survive

This is the latest new from Singapore government that all people who wish to migrate to Singapore are happy to hear about:

(*From AsiaOne) SINGAPORE, March 21, 2009 (AFP) - Singapore, which is facing its worst recession in history, needs foreigners to survive in the long-term, founding father Lee Kuan Yew said.

The city-state is not reproducing itself fast enough and the government has in recent years opened its doors to attract more talented migrants to avert a serious population shortage.

"Without new citizens and permanent residents, we are going to be 'The Last of the Mohicans'. We will disappear," Lee, 85, told an audience at a local university late Friday.

Lee is the country's first prime minister and remains an influential figure. He is an adviser in his son Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's cabinet with the title minister mentor.

Singapore needs a fertility rate of 2.1 babies per woman to maintain its population naturally but a string of incentives including monetary ones to encourage Singaporeans to have babies has failed to make an impact.

A report released this month by the Department of Statistics showed 39,935 babies were born in 2008, well short of the 60,000 births the country needs each year.

Singapore has a population of 4.84 million, including about one million foreigners who work in the country and their families.

The local economy is projected to shrink by up to 5.0 percent in 2009 and the elder Lee told the audience at the university it may take up to six years to recover in a worse-case scenario.

In a sign of how tough times are, Singaporeans trained as engineers are looking for jobs such as bus drivers once shunned by locals, The Straits Times reported Saturday.
