In its Employment Outlook Survey, ManpowerGroup Singapore found that the strongest labour markets are expected from Australia (+30%), Hong Kong (+30%), and India (+30%). Singapore followed with +27%).

Meanwhile, the weakest outlooks are expected from Taiwan (+9%), and Japan (+10%0.

“The only region reporting an increase in hiring intentions from Q1, perhaps due to the reopening of trade and travel in mainland China, with its economy beginning to recover. This has affected the rest of the region with rebounding consumer demand and travel,” the report read in part.

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.
