SINGAPORE: More signs are emerging to show that economy is recovering well with the number of jobs available going up sharply for the North East District.
Its Community Development Council (CDC) has been helping residents look for jobs during the economic downturn.
It saw more jobs coming onto the market in the first quarter of the year.
There were 3,115 openings, 79 per cent more than what was available in the last quarter of 2009.
1,219 people found jobs in the first quarter of this year compared with about 488 in the previous quarter.
The placement rate rose by 27 per cent with 648 residents finding jobs in February alone.
The North East CDC said it has been receiving more requests from employers for assistance in recruitment, especially in the Logistics and Manufacturing sectors.
As a result, more have also found suitable jobs.
Mayor of the North East District Teo Ser Luck said: "We have also seen signs that the job seekers are not too choosy now and they are beginning to accept jobs as the offers come by. Most of them are willing to take up some of the work that they previously shun."
The number of applications for social assistance continues to slide by 10 per cent over the previous quarter.
The CDC said the consistent drop since the second half of last year is another clear sign that economic health is returning.
But more residents also sought employment assistance.
The CDC saw more residents going to Job Placement Centres, or a 25-per cent increase, over the quarter.
The number went up by 317 to 1,596. -CNA/vm
