HÀ ANH CHIẾN |

From now until the end of 2024, Dong Nai province needs 15,000 - 18,000 workers but is forecast to only be able to supply 30% of the demand.

On October 5, according to information from the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Dong Nai province, from now until the end of 2024, businesses and production facilities in Dong Nai province need to recruit from 15,000 to 18,000 workers.

Most of them are unskilled workers (85%). Industries that recruit a lot include: Garment, leather shoes, electronics, mechanics, insurance, finance...

Mr. Nong Van Dung - Deputy Director of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Dong Nai province said that currently the labor force in Dong Nai province is about 1.3 million people.

"Since the beginning of the year, we have resolved nearly 40,000 workers receiving unemployment insurance benefits, on average each month there are about 10,000 workers receiving unemployment insurance, meaning they are unemployed, a very large number" - Mr. Dung said.

According to Mr. Dung, the list of nearly 1,500 businesses registering to recruit workers shows that the demand from now until the end of the year is from 15,000 to 18,000 workers. However, it is forecasted that only about 30% can be supplied, because workers transfer from one company to another, while workers from other regions are very few.

"We have cooperated with other regions such as the Central Highlands and the Southwest, but the number of people we registered and those they introduced did not meet the requirements," Mr. Dung added.
