Understanding Labour Market Statistics in Singapore!

Labour Market, First Quarter 2014

Unemployment Remained Low and Job Vacancies Rose
13 June 2014 

1. Unemployment remained low, although it edged up slightly in March 2014. Job openings continued to increase and outnumber job seekers. These are the key findings from the “Labour Market, First Quarter 2014” report released by the Ministry of Manpower’s Research and Statistics Department.
   
   Main Findings
2. The overall seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 1.8% in December 2013 to 2.0% in March 2014. Similar increases were observed for residents from 2.7% to 2.9% and citizens from 2.8% to 3.0%. This could reflect increased job search activity as more residents, especially the less educated, were encouraged to enter the labour force, given more job openings and an increase in wages, with the tightening of foreign manpower controls. Overall, unemployment rates were still low and comparable to earlier quarters.
3. The long-term unemployment rate stayed low at 0.6% in March 2014. There were 12,900 residents who had been looking for work for at least 25 weeks in March 2014, down from 13,700 in March 2013.
4. Total employment grew by 28,300 in the first quarter of 2014, lower than the seasonally high increase of 40,600 in the last quarter of 2013 but broadly comparable to the 28,900 in the first quarter of 2013. This brought total employment to 3,522,200 in March 2014, which was 4.0% higher than a year ago. This year-on-year rate of growth in total employment is similar to the 4.1% growth a quarter ago.
5. Fewer workers were made redundant in the first quarter of 2014 (3,110) than in the preceding quarter (3,660), though this was higher than in the first quarter of 2013 (2,120).
6. Job openings continued to increase. The seasonally adjusted job vacancies rose for the third consecutive quarter, though the rate of increase over the quarter moderated to 3.0% in March 2014 from 9.2% in December 2013 and 5.8% in September 2013. Job openings continued to outnumber job seekers, though the ratio has eased. The seasonally adjusted ratio of job vacancies to unemployed persons declined from 1.43 in December 2013 to 1.33 in March 2014.
   For More Information
7. The report is available online on the Ministry of Manpower’s  Statistics and Publications webpage.

Labour Market, First Quarter 2014

Published on 17 Jun 2014

Unemployment remained low, despite rising in March 2014. Job openings continued to increase and outnumber job seekers, though the ratio has moderated.

Statement on Labour Market Developments

14 March 2014

Introduction

1. In 2013, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) continued its approach of taking progressive steps to raise the quality of the foreign workforce and moderate foreign employment growth. This is part of the Government’s effort to achieve quality economic growth driven by sustained productivity improvement. MOM takes into account the rate of employment growth, productivity growth, and the real income growth of Singaporeans when calibrating its manpower policy measures.
2. Total employment growth was strong in 2013, driven in large part by local¹employment growth, while foreign employment growth moderated. Labour market conditions continued to be tight, with the seasonally-adjusted citizen unemployment rate remaining low at 2.8% in December 2013. Real median incomes² for full-time employed citizens grew by 4.6% in 2013, while overall labour productivity growth was flat.
   
   Review of 2013
   
   Employment
   
   Unemployment rate remained low
3. The unemployment rate remained low amid the tight labour market. The seasonally-adjusted citizen unemployment rate was low at 2.8% in December 2013, slightly lower than the 2.9% in December 2012.
   
   Total employment growth remained high in 2013
4. Total employment (excluding FDWs³) growth remained high in 2013 at 4.2% (or 131,300) in 2013, similar to the increase of 4.2% (or 125,800) in 2012. The increase in total employment in 2013 was driven mainly by a strong increase in local employment.
   
   
   Figure 1: Employment Change (excluding FDWs) 2009 – 2013
   
   Local employment growth was higher in 2013 than 2012
5. Local employment growth was stronger at 4.0% (82,900) in 2013, compared to 2.9% (58,700) in 2012, as firms tried harder to bring economically inactive residents back into employment amidst curbs on foreign employment growth. This was reflected in the increase in employment rates of older residents and female residents.⁴ Overall, the bulk of the growth in local employment were in the Services sector (77,100), led by the Community, Social & Personal Services, Professional Services, Admin & Support Services and Food & Beverage Services industries.
   
   Foreign employment growth continued to slow
6. Growth in foreign employment (excluding FDWs) slowed for the second consecutive year to 4.6% (48,400) in 2013, down from 6.8% (67,100) in 2012, as previously announced foreign manpower tightening measures started to take effect. These included the reduction in Dependency Ratio for the Services sector⁵ and increased levy rates across all sectors. The bulk of foreign manpower growth came from the Construction sector (31,600), due to infrastructure projects such as the Downtown and Thomson MRT lines. Excluding Construction and FDWs, foreign employment grew by 2.3% (16,800) in 2013, down from 4.6% (32,200) in 2012.
7. By pass-type, the number of Employment Pass holders grew by 1,300 in 2013 after contracting by 1,600 in 2012. S-pass holder growth moderated to 18,500 in 2013, from 28,500 in 2012. Work Permit holder (excluding FDWs) growth slowed to 28,600 in 2013, from 40,300 in 2012. (See Annex A for more details)
8. In 2013, foreign workers comprised 36.9% of total employment growth (excluding FDWs), down from 53.3% in 2012. Overall, the foreign share of total employment (excluding FDWs) reached 33.8% in end 2013.
   
   Layoffs increased slightly but re-entry into employment improved
9. As economic restructuring efforts continued, 11,560 workers were laid off in 2013, slightly higher than 11,010 in 2012⁶. The increase in layoffs stemmed mainly from Electronics and the Construction sector. Nevertheless, the rate of re-entry into employment within 6 months improved for the third successive quarter to reach 59% in December 2013. Overall, the labour market remained tight, with the ratio of job vacancies to jobseekers increasing to 1.44 in December 2013, from 1.05 in December 2012.
   
   Productivity
   
   Productivity growth improved in the second half of the year
10. Following several quarters of negative or flat growth, labour productivity rose over the year by 1.6% and 1.4% respectively in the third and fourth quarters of 2013. This was mainly driven by improvements in the Manufacturing sector and Wholesale & Retail Trade industry, as well as the continued productivity growth in the Finance & Insurance industry. However, Construction and the remaining Service industries continued to see flat or negative productivity growth. Taking into account the poorer productivity growth in the first half of 2013, overall labour productivity growth was flat in 2013, an improvement from 2012 when labour productivity declined by 2.0%. Over a five year period from 2008 to 2013, labour productivity growth was 1.5% per annum.
    
    Income
    
    Incomes increased for Singaporeans
11. The real median monthly income (including employer CPF contributions) of full-time employed citizens increased by 4.6% in 2013.⁷ This reflected strong nominal income gains amidst tight labour market conditions, as well as moderating inflation⁸. Over a five year period from 2008 to 2013, real median income increased by 1.7% per annum, while real income at the 20th percentile (P20) grew faster at 2.0% per annum. This has led to a narrowing of the gap between median and P20 incomes.
    
    2014 Labour Market Outlook
12. In February 2014, the Ministry of Trade and Industry announced that the Singapore economy is expected to grow by 2 - 4% in 2014. MOM expects labour demand to remain strong in 2014, barring severe unexpected shocks in the external economy.
13. The Construction sector is expected to see strong labour demand on account of ongoing infrastructure development. These include the construction of the Downtown and Thomson MRT lines, hospitals and nursing homes, as well as public and private sector housing projects. Labour demand in the Manufacturing sector is expected to come mainly from the Marine and General Manufacturing industries.
14. Labour demand in the Services sector is also expected to be strong. In particular, labour demand from the Retail Trade, Accommodation and Food & Beverage Services industries will be driven by the opening of several hotels and shopping malls in 2014. As previously announced foreign workforce tightening measures for the Services sector (such as the reduction of DRC for renewal applications from 50% to 45% and increases in foreign worker levies) come into force in July 2014, labour market conditions for these industries will tighten further, especially for firms that rely on more manpower-intensive and less productive models of operation.
15. Overall, the Singapore labour market is expected to remain tight in 2014. This will place upward pressure on incomes. While some increase in redundancies is expected as part of economic restructuring, unemployment is likely to remain low as job creation will be strong. With increasingly binding foreign manpower constraints, local employment should continue to register gains in 2014.
    
    Conclusion
16. While incomes have grown at a healthy rate in the past five years, labour productivity growth has lagged slightly. There is a need to sustain and broaden the recent improvement in productivity growth, especially in the Construction sector and the more labour-intensive industries within the Services sector.
17. Firms have increasingly turned to hiring more local workers to meet their manpower needs as foreign workforce policies are tightened. However, the current rate of local employment growth will be difficult to sustain in the long run, due to demographic constraints. Firms will need to implement more manpower-lean methods of driving business growth in order to survive and thrive. MOM is reviewing the CET Masterplan to support the re-skilling and upgrading of our workforce to meet the needs of our economy.
18. The Ministry of Manpower will monitor the impact of previously announced foreign workforce policy measures on employment, productivity, and incomes, and continue to take progressive steps to moderate foreign workforce growth to more sustainable levels.

Wage Flexibility in Singapore, 2013

A large majority of employees in the private sector were under some form of flexible wage system in December 2013, following a general uptrend since the flexible wage measures were recommended by tripartite partners in January 2004. Having a narrow maximum-minimum salary ratio was the most common flexible wage recommendation adopted, followed by linking variable bonus to KPI and MVC.
