Jobs in the manufacturing sector in Vietnam jumped 10 percent in the first half of this year compared to the first half of last year, recruitment firm Adecco has said. The firm noted there was an emerging trend toward hiring senior quality and sourcing experts.
Manufacturing in Vietnam over the last few months has rebounded significantly compared to 2023. Of note, S&P Global’s Vietnam Purchasing Managers’ Index jumped to 54.7 up from 50.3 a month earlier. This was on the back of a sharp rise in new orders that S&P says experienced the highest growth since the index began, aside from the very first month it went online. This continued into July with the index holding at 54.7 percent.
