Graduates less sought after
By Sue-Ann Chia, Senior Political Correspondent


THE strong economic recovery has given jobs to more people, but degree holders are not getting them fast enough. Those snapped up quickest are diploma holders. Their jobless rate shrunk the most, halving from 4.1 per cent during the recession in March last year to 2.1 per cent a year later.

In contrast, graduates were less sought after as their jobless rate had barely improved. It dipped slightly, from 3 per cent to 2.8 per cent during the same period, according to the Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) first quarter labour market report released on Tuesday.

What makes diploma holders more attractive to employers is that they tend to command lower salaries, say analysts. As for degree holders, they may also be a little more picky with jobs.

As labour economist, Professor Chew Soon Beng from the Nanyang Technological University, puts it: 'The degree holders want a better job so they are not in a hurry to find jobs. If you are not as educated, you know this is the best you can do, so better grab it.'

He was commenting on the labour report which fleshes out earlier estimates which showed that 36,500 jobs were added in the midst of a robust rebound in January to March.

The strong job gains soaked up more job seekers, resulting in the unemployment rate for residents heading south. It moved from 4.6 per cent last March to 3.2 per cent a year later.

Fast money draws graduate to escorting

Journalist: ANNABELLE LIANG

Social-science graduate Amber (not her real name), 23, tells her family she is in sales, but works as a social escort.

She felt that making money from working in her family business was "too slow", and chanced upon a recruitment advertisement by social-escort firm Velvet 6 Management while searching for a better job.

She said: "I didn't hesitate at all. I read that lots of money can be made in a short time. I had many things I wanted to buy and do, so it became a good source of income."

Amber has been dolling herself up with make-up and donning mini-dresses to meet clients "practically every day" in the last eight months.

Some have taken her to business dinners, but she has mostly been hired by those who "simply want company in the comfort of a room with a bed".

Sex is definitely part of it, though it is not promoted openly and she does not charge extra for it, she said.

Although agents take 30 to 40 per cent of her earnings, Amber still earns about $10,000 a month, and has made $12,000 in a good month.

Clients rarely buy her gifts, but a British client once gave her a Swarovski necklace and matching ear studs
