Manpower Minister urges companies to grow their headcount with locals
The Jobs Growth Initiative is not a permanent scheme, so employers should tap on it now to hire: Tan See Leng
Singapore
MANPOWER Minister Tan See Leng has urged employers to get on with hiring, as business confidence recovers and firms are adding to their local headcount.
His call came on the news that the Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) scheme supported the hiring of some 140,000 workers between last December and February this year. The figure is on top of the 130,000 locals hired in the three months prior.
