The Hanoi Employment Service Center said that the Institute of State Organization and Labor Science (Ministry of Home Affairs) has developed the quarterly Vietnam Labor Market Update Bulletin with the coordination of relevant units in the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Statistics Department (Ministry of Finance).
In the context of Vietnam's economy deeply integrating with the region and the world, the labor market is constantly fluctuating in terms of scale, structure and quality, the development of the publication "Vietnam Labor Market Update Bulletin" is not only urgent but also of great significance to many stakeholders in society.
The newsletter plays a role as a channel to provide official, timely and reliable information about the labor market. Through the synthesis and analysis of data on the employment situation, unemployment, recruitment needs, salary levels and industry trends, the publication helps readers have a comprehensive and updated view of the labor situation in Vietnam. This is an important basis to limit information scarcity or misinformation access.
Hanoi Employment Service Center publicly publishes the publication "Vietnam Labor Market Update Bulletin Quarter I/2026". According to the bulletin, in the first quarter of 2026, the top 5 industry groups submitting the largest applications for unemployment benefits include: Processing and manufacturing industry (41.8%); other service activities (32.3%); agriculture, forestry and fisheries (4.4%); construction (2.7%); wholesale and retail, repair of automobiles, motorbikes, motorcycles and other motor vehicles (2.7%).
