SINGAPORE: Job seekers can now get more information about recruitment prospects and wages from the Labour Market Highlights on the Manpower Ministry's (MOM) website.
Jointly produced by MOM and the Workforce Development Agency (WDA), the labour market guide aims to give job seekers a better understanding of the opportunities in the job market by providing a broad overview of 11 industry groups in the construction, manufacturing and services sectors.
It includes information on industry trend outlook, pipeline of investments and projected job creation. Occupations are colour-coded according to demand - for example, red indicates that the job is very high in demand.
According to the guide, engineering professions continue to be in strong demand in the manufacturing sector. A software engineer's wage falls between S$2,885 and S$4,314, while a semiconductor engineer's salary is in the range of S$3,204 to S$4,496.
In two months' time, the online guide will be updated with 2007 wage information.
The Labour Market Highlights was launched by Acting Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong at Temasek Polytechnic's graduation ceremony on Wednesday.
Mr Gan urged graduating students to have realistic expectations as they embark on their careers.
