According to the Hanoi Employment Service Center, the Capital's labor market in September 2026 maintained its recovery momentum, forecasting that there will be tens of thousands of new job positions, strongly focused on the groups of industries of commerce, services, infrastructure construction and technology.
There are 3 industry groups with high recruitment demand in September 2026.
Trade – retail and consumer services: This is the industry that continues to account for the largest proportion of the total recruitment demand to prepare human resources for the peak business season at the end of the year.
Construction - infrastructure and technology: Benefiting from the progress of public investment disbursement and key projects entering the peak construction phase, the construction - infrastructure and technology industry is forecast to continue the strong recruitment momentum of recent months. In which, skilled workers will be recruited with attractive salaries, skilled mechanics can have an income of more than 30 million VND/month.
Information technology, logistics and digital transformation: It is predicted that this industry group has a stable recruitment demand for highly specialized personnel, data engineers and supply chain operations.
The Hanoi Employment Service Center recommends that the trend and recruitment requirements will focus on quality instead of quantity. Accordingly, businesses prioritize recruiting skilled workers with practical skills and expertise through training (from intermediate, college to university) instead of just recruiting unskilled workers without training.
In the coming time, the Hanoi Employment Service Center will strengthen the connection between labor supply and demand through job transaction sessions and satellite job exchanges in the city. Job transaction sessions are promoted to support workers to directly access recruitment units. In addition, policies to support loans to create jobs and employment policy advice are also focused on and promoted.
