WHERE are the jobs? That's the million-dollar question for job-seekers in a market rocked by pandemic-fuelled uncertainty.

"Most companies are trying their best to support usual employment, but the struggle is real," said Fang Eu-Lin, leader of PwC's Academy in Singapore, a skills development platform.

Still, information technology and healthcare positions are in demand, while large local companies confirmed with The Business Times that they are going ahead with in-house management associate programmes.
