Only 13,300 people were registered to receive unemployment benefits in HCMC in November, a drop of nearly 25 percent from June, VN Express is reporting. The publication is saying that this is a sign that the wave of layoffs that have plagued the manufacturing sector may have slowed this year.
Eds note: 13,300 unemployed people seems remarkably low for a city with a population upwards of 9 million people.
