As of November 7, 10,068,967 employees had received support from the Unemployment Insurance Fund totaling VND23.96 trillion ($1.05 billion). Vietnam Social Insurance is expected to complete the settlement of support policies from the Fund by November 15.
In order to have sufficient workers for the peak period from now to the end of the year, many businesses have introduced preferential policies and are even willing to pay higher wages or recruit unskilled workers with no experience. Information technology companies and banks continue to lead in recruitment demand.
Businesses around Vietnam are restoring production and need to recruit a large number of workers. Demand for trained workers accounts for more than 85 per cent of the total. Many employees left their job to return home during Covid-19.
