Hiring intentions in Singapore positive across seven sectors in Q4 2018

The local labour market is expected to finish on a high note this year as employers in Singapore continue to report stronger hiring intentions for the fourth-quarter (Q4) of 2018, revealed ManpowerGroup's latest Employment Outlook Survey.

Interviewing a representative sample of 620 employers in Singapore, the survey reported the Net Employment Outlook to be +13% after accounting for seasonal variation. This marks three consecutive quarters of strengthening hiring outlooks for Singapore, with employers reporting the most optimistic forecast since 2015.

Of those surveyed, 16% intended to add to their headcount, only 3% expected to decrease and 75% anticipated no change.
