YAHOO POLL: Are $7.3k jobs in Singapore too good to be true?
Singapore's job market boasts 45,300 PMET vacancies, offering median salaries of $7,300 monthly. But slowing hiring rates hint at potential trouble ahead.
The Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) Q1 2025 report highlights strong demand, with PMET roles dominating sectors like IT, finance and healthcare. Yet, hiring dipped to 1.8 per cent, and resignation fell to 1.2 per cent.
Economists warn this 'low hiring, low quitting' trend could signal caution among employers and workers, mirroring patterns seen before past downturns.
