Singapore’s jobs mismatch declines across all industry sectors
Indeed, the world’s number 1 job site, recently revealed that Singapore’s talent mismatch has fallen by 8% over the past four years from 44% in January 2015 to 36% in May 2019. The results are indicative of Singapore’s strong economy in which both employers and job seekers have adjusted to the evolving jobs landscape. A mismatch in the labour market indicates an imbalance between job seekers and job postings. Singapore’s results are comparable to the United Kingdom’s mismatch rate but are much lower than Australia and a little higher than the United States and Canada. Callam Pickering is Economist for APAC at jobs portal Indeed and talks us through Singapore’s jobs mismatch declining across all industry sectors.
