Rise in Resident Employment in First Quarter 2023

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Manpower of the rise in resident employment by 2,800 in the first quarter of 2023 (a) what percentage of the increase is due to non-residents becoming residents; and (b) what is the breakdown of the increase by full-time permanent employment and part-time employment, respectively.

Dr Tan See Leng: Data on the net change in resident employment by worker’s prior residency status and whether they were in full-time or part-time roles are not collected in the quarterly labour market reports.
