MOM said that its surveys indicate an improvement in business sentiments alongside the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s forecast of improved economic growth prospects for 2024. However the number of firms carrying out retrenchments in 2023 — 1,460 — was higher than the pre-pandemic average of 1,320.labour market estimates released by MOM in January.
About 63.7 per cent of residents who lost their jobs found a new one within six months. This was lower than the 2022 re-entry rate of 68.9 per cent, but comparable to the pre-pandemic range between 2016 and 2019. “This reflects the transferability of skillsets, as well as the agility and receptivity of workers to new opportunities, as around six in 10 re-entrants received similar or higher wages in their new jobs,” MOM said.
The majority of retrenchments in the information and communications sector were due to reorganisation or restructuring, as firms"rationalised their manpower after the surge in hiring in previous years".
