Job seekers rose 20% from February, Tuan said, noting that growing demands from businesses would provide more opportunities for university and college graduates to get steady jobs.
The centre’s survey showed labour shortage stood 3-4% after the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday while post-Tet recruitment demand remained high to ensure smooth business operations.
