Report: ​Labour Force In Singapore, 2012

The resident employment rate reached a new high, reflecting the high employment creation and the rise in labour force participation among women and older residents. However, income growth has moderated, amid the weaker economic conditions.

This annual report presents a comprehensive range of statistical information on the economic activities of the population, including detailed analysis and data on employment, unemployment, characteristics of the labour force and economically inactive persons. It also examines a wide range of topics including training, income, term contract employment, hours worked and modes of job search.
