The HCM City Centre for Youth Employment Services is in charge of recruiting 2,000 labourers as per request by service businesses such as restaurants, hotels and security agencies, said deputy director Nguyen Van Sang.

The centre contacted the businesses before the holiday to get hold of their labour demand to better inform job-seekers, he said.
