Some sectors recruited a large number of workers such as: garment recruited 2,810 workers; manufacturing and logistics recruited 4,440 workers; services, restaurants, hotels and other sectors recruited 1,026 workers.
Concerns about housing shortages for workers
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Nam - Production Human Resources Director of VinFast Production and Trading Joint Stock Company - Ha Tinh Branch, currently the Company has about 7,000 employees.
However, only more than 1,000 workers are rented houses by the Company in the housing area of Ha Tinh Mineral and Trading Corporation. The remaining, about 6,000 people, the Company is having to hire cars to take them to their accommodation or family homes every day.
“The demand for renting houses for our workers is still very large, but currently in Vung Ang Economic Zone, there is still a shortage of rental houses with a scale of 1,000 people or more. This is a difficult and headache-inducing problem for us,” Mr. Nam shared.
According to the Trade Union Committee of Ha Tinh Economic Zone, currently in Vung Ang Economic Zone, the demand for labor recruitment is very large but still difficult to recruit.
Among them, there are reasons due to lack of housing for workers, lack of essential services such as kindergartens, supermarkets, and entertainment areas for workers.
Therefore, in the coming time, it is hoped that those essential services will be invested and built to effectively attract workers to work here.
