    HIRING prospects in Singapore for Q3 2019 are expected to be stable but bleaker than in other parts of the Asia-Pacific, says the latest ManpowerGroup employment outlook survey.

    The island nation's net employment outlook for the quarter is forecast to remain stable at +12 per cent - an improvement of one percentage point from the previous quarter, but unchanged from the year-ago period.
