Three principal sectors including industry, services and agriculture require more than 50,000 workers, said the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT) on Friday.
Cambodia needs a total of 51,705 workers across three major sectors of industry, services and agriculture which present opportunities for citizens and youth to increase their income and support their families, the ministry added.
Elaborating further the ministry said, “Three major sectors are in need of workers, including 39,017 in the industrial sector, 2,801 in the service and 9,887 in the agricultural sector to boost the production chain.”
