The provincial employment service centre organised 11 job counselling sessions for nearly 2,000 labourers during the year, during which 150 were recruited by enterprises. In addition to the regular activity of job consultancy, the centre held 11 job placement events, including six mobile job fairs in districts and five online involving nearly 200 enterprises. More than 2,500 people were given occupational advice and 206 found jobs.

Many businesses outside the province attended the events with need for large numbers of workers such as Japan’s Sumidenso at Dai An industrial park (Hai Duong city) recruiting 1,000 workers; the Republic of Korea’s LG Display at Trang Due industrial park (Hai Phong city) seeking 600 workers; and Vietnam Coal – Mineral College of the Vietnam National Coal – Mineral Industries (Quang Ninh province) looking to recruit 500 workers.

Thanks to the application of effective measures to connect labour supply and demand, the province achieved positive outcomes in employment in 2018. According to the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the province found jobs for 18,259 workers, surpassing the yearly target by 10 percent. The industrial and construction sectors created jobs for 6,059 people; agriculture, forestry and fishery 8,575 people; trade and services 3,625 people. The labour structure saw positive changes with the proportion of labourers in agro-forestry-fishery declining to about 62.5 percent. The rate of unemployment in urban areas was around 3 percent. The province helped find jobs through the national employment fund for 1,260 locals and assisted 360 others to work abroad under contracts.
