    THE Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) aims to stretch employers' budget for manpower growth to create more good jobs for Singaporeans, said Manpower Minister Josephine Teo in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

    The S$1 billion scheme is Singapore's "biggest push ever for jobs" to match the seriousness of the impact that Covid-19 is having on businesses, she went on to highlight.
