On April 16, the Hanoi Employment Service Center said that based on a survey, collecting information on 3,000 job seekers in March 2026 of the Center, it shows that the desired salary of workers is mainly from 5-10 million VND/month (accounting for 57.4%), focusing on general labor positions, technical workers, service staff and sales staff.
Salaries from 10-20 million VND/month account for 35.9%, showing a shift in labor to high-value industries such as technology and services.
Salaries over 20 million VND/month account for 6.4%, concentrated in the fields of technology, finance, management... requiring high skills.
Notably, workers looking for jobs mainly focus on the age group from 35-45 (accounting for 51.1%), showing that in the context of the economy shifting to focusing on services and high-tech industries, middle-aged workers are prone to pressure to be fired or forced to change jobs suitable to their skills.
The job-seeking group aged 25-34 accounts for 35.4% - a fairly large proportion of this group shows that the Hanoi labor market still maintains its appeal to young workers, especially in industries such as technology, services, finance and business.
The job-seeking group aged 15-24 accounts for 1.4%, reflecting the reality that many people of this age are still studying, training or not fully participating in the labor market.
The technical expertise of job seekers is mainly concentrated in the group with university degrees or higher, accounting for 34.6% (up 5.7% compared to February 2026) showing the restructuring of businesses in the AI and digital economy era, where management and professional positions are requiring innovation in skill sets.
Next is the untrained group accounting for 32.9% (down 3.6% compared to February 2026), focusing on jobs such as loading and unloading workers, garbage workers, sales staff, delivery staff... reflecting the trend of shifting from pure manual labor to industry groups requiring high skills.
