Singapore job postings fall 4.8% in July

Despite, overall hiring activity remains steady.

Singapore’s job market recovery hit a snag as job postings dropped 4.8% year on year in July, according to an Indeed report.

However, overall hiring activity remains steady as it is 36% higher than pre-pandemic levels.

The sports (+173%), pharmacy (+122%), and education (+117%) sectors saw a significant rise in job postings compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The hospitality and tourism sector (+30%), civil engineering (+15.6%), and installation and maintenance (+9.5%) also saw increases, recovering from declines three months ago.

Meanwhile, postings related to personal care and home health (-32.9%), dental (-31.0%), physicians & surgeons (-15.8%), and nursing (-8.6%) dropped in the past month.

Moreover, postings for IT infrastructure (-22.4%) and data and analytics (-19.6%) roles declined.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
