Binh Duong (VNA) – More than 30 enterprises in the Binh Duong southernindustrial hub participated at a job fair on January 22, seeking 20,000 workers.

According toNguyen Thanh Phuong, deputy director of the provincial job placement centre, participatingenterprises needed around 5,000 labourers for the period during the Tet (LunarNew Year) festival, to serve surging demand in the holiday.

Other firmswanted to recruit workers to fill the gaps after Tet because a considerablenumber of labourers often change jobs after the holiday.

However, as thefair was held just several days before Tet, few workers came to the fair toseek employment.

Located in the southern key economic region, Binh Duong is a leadingindustrial hub in the country.

Currently, industry makes up 63 percent of the locality’s economicstructure, while that of service is 23.5 percent and agriculture only 4.3percent.

Over the past five years, the industrial production index of Binh Duongincreased 11 percent annually. So far, the province has built 28 industrialparks and 10 industrial clusters.

Thanks to its improved investment environment, Binh Duong has attracted25.7 billion USD in foreign investment, with 2.4 billion USD in 2016 alone.-VNA
