At the end of June, the sector had 498 job vacancies, up by 385 year-on-year. The bureau attributed the year-on-year surge of 340.7 percent to the city’s further recovery of its tourism-related sectors driven by the constantly rising number of visitor arrivals.

In the second quarter, the number of new recruits and staff members leaving their employment totalled 1,492 and 1,143 respectively. The employee recruitment rate (2.9 percent) rose by 1.0 percentage point while the employee turnover rate (2.2 percent) dropped by 0.2 percentage points.
