A report from the Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center said that the recruitment demand in the second quarter of 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City is still expected to be high, and the labor market is still in a state of demand exceeding supply.
It is forecasted that in the second quarter of 2026, Ho Chi Minh City will need about 60,000 - 75,000 job positions because it is the time when businesses are promoting recruitment to expand production or serve new orders.
The labor market is gradually stabilizing after the shifts at the beginning of the year, supply is forecast to tend to decrease slightly due to the psychology of maintaining current jobs of workers. This is a good opportunity for the group of workers who are unemployed with many diverse career choices.
Participating in job exchanges is considered the optimal solution, helping workers directly access many employers in the shortest time.
According to the assessment of the Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center, the Ho Chi Minh City labor market in the second quarter of 2026 is forecast to continue to maintain many job opportunities, especially in the manufacturing and service sectors. However, the major challenge still lies in the disparity between the skills of workers and the recruitment requirements of businesses.
