The Labour Market Report published earlier today showed that the labour market continued to grow in the first quarter of 2023. Key observations include:
Total employment expanded to 3.8% above its pre-pandemic level
Although retrenchments rose in outward-oriented sectors, more than seven in ten retrenched residents were able to find employment within six months after retrenchment
While the labour market remains tight, there are some signs of cooling labour demand

The Report on Wage Practices 2022 was released today. Key findings include:
More firms were able to raise their employees’ wages in 2022 compared to 2021 as there was a strong increase in the proportion of profitable firms in 2022
Nominal wage growth in 2022 was significantly higher than in 2021, and the highest in a decade
Notwithstanding high inflation, real wages continued to grow, but at a slower pace compared to 2021
The Government encourages all firms to implement the Flexible Wage System as the uncertainties ahead continue to underscore the need for resilience and flexibility in wage structures.

Migrant domestic workers and their employers now have access to three centres at convenient heartland locations.
New online appointment system allows employers to schedule interviews for their first-time domestic workers at their preferred centre, date and time.
