Thailand was third in terms of an employment-growth forecast, according to jobsDB (Thailand) based on an online survey of six Asian countries in January, said Noppawan Chulakanista, the firm’s managing director. About 22 per cent of employers in the six countries reported that they would expand their business and headcount. The survey polled 8,000 jobseekers and 3,000 businesses or employers in the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. “In Thailand, the demand for specialists and experts remains high to support various business areas such as consumer goods, services and retailing. “Healthcare and manufacturing are the top two industries that need more experts or special workforces to support their business growth,” she said.
