Portal JobStreet Singapore noted that more companies started hiring part-timers one month earlier, from October, in 2022 than in 2021.
National University of Singapore labour economist Kelvin Seah said Covid-19 restrictions have lifted substantially now compared with the festive season in 2021. She added that to manage the surge in demand driven by shopping festivals such as 11.11, Black Friday, 12.12, Christmas and New Year’s Day, the firm typically increases manpower over November and December for positions such as warehouse assistants and drivers.
In 2021, 64 per cent of hourly part-time salaries were between $8 and $10. In 2022, 68 per cent of these salaries were between $10 and $12. FastJobs Singapore and Philippines general manager Lim Huishan said: “The increase in job postings in 2022 compared with previous years has made the market even more competitive, so while jobs are being filled fast, we do observe that businesses may have difficulty hiring enough job seekers to fill all the required vacancies.”
“At the end of the day, it is not just about hiring more hands on deck but also about maintaining a good balance between our manpower and efficiency levels,” she added.
