The Singapore economy added 26,500 jobs in the second quarter, bringing total employment to 3,053,000, a Manpower Ministry report said on Friday (30 July 2010). That was fewer than the 36,500 jobs gained in the first quarter of 2010.
The questions asked by Singaporeans frequently are: Does it really work? How many of these people who fall in the age of 40 and above got employed and are true Singaporeans? How many are adopted Singaporeans who got employed?
The Singaporeans who have an age of 40 and above always cannot get the jobs although the government had already added many new jobs. They do not have the skills needed and unable to compete with the other graduate or young. Hence, Singapore government should help them by providing training to them, such as computer skills and some technology skills. After the training, they can really find the suitable jobs for themselves.
Foreigner workers are getting more and more in Singapore. Adding 26,500 jobs is giving benefits to Singaporeans or foreigners? Are we bringing in another 100,000 foreign workers to Singapore? These problems are worried by the Singaporeans. Hence, Manpower Ministry has to take this problem into their considerations and try to solve it to protect Singaporeans’ right.
