According to the Hanoi Employment Service Center, in June 2026, the capital's economy continued to witness strong growth, clearly reflected in the recruitment picture of businesses.
Hanoi's labor market recorded a breakthrough boom in the commercial - service sector and other service activities, accounting for 54.1% of the total market recruitment demand. Followed by the processing and manufacturing industry maintaining a stable recovery momentum with 20.3% of the target.
Notably, the construction industry (accounting for 7.1% of total demand) is becoming a hot spot in the market. The explosion of large infrastructure projects entering the construction phase has created a huge human resource thirst, leading to the risk of supply-demand imbalance and fierce competition to attract a team of highly skilled engineers and workers," said a representative of the Hanoi Employment Service Center.
The Hanoi Employment Service Center believes that the job market in June 2026 also revealed a fairly clear trend of supply-demand mismatch (U-shaped model). In terms of qualifications, businesses are focusing on hunting for high-quality labor with university and college degrees (total demand accounts for more than 48%), while the supply of job seekers is strongly differentiated at both ends when the university group (36.9%) and the untrained labor group (33.2%) both account for very high proportions.
Regarding occupational groups, businesses have the largest demand for intermediate and high-level professionals, but the number of applications pours into the group of assembly workers, machinery operators and office workers.
