Jobstreet: Manufacturing will continue to offer jobs

JobStreet.com, the number one job site in Malaysia, expects the manufacturing sector to continue to offer the most job opportunities for Malaysian jobseekers this year.

Country Manager Chook Yuh Yng said the country's positive growth and stable economy were among the factors that drive the number of job openings.

"Malaysia is very much a manufacturing-driven country and this sector is very big. Naturally, it will offer more jobs," she told a press conference after opening the 15th Malaysia Career and Training Fair (MCTF) 2013 here today.

After manufacturing, information communications and technology, banking, construction and retail and wholesale offer the most jobs, Chook said.

Looking ahead, she said the job outlook is expected to be positive on the back of bullish local fundamentals and eased worries over the US economy.
