Can't Find Workers: You Are Not Alone

Job vacancies in the service sector are at record highs, leaving many companies unable to fill key positions.

 MAS’ Macroeconomic Review highlighted that the “labour market has tightened significantly, especially in the services sectors, where job vacancy rates are at near-record highs” and “although external sources of price inflation have been benign, domestic inflationary pressures have increased in the first three quarters of this year, particularly the prices of non-traded items, such as accommodation and services”.


Forecast 2010 GDP growth is expected to moderated from 13%-15% to “a slower pace in line with its growth potential” and “will be driven more by the services sector”.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
