Although labor and employment in the second quarter of 2023 tend to increase, the labor and employment market continues to face many difficulties and challenges, mainly because businesses lack production orders.

The number of workers who lost their jobs in the second quarter of 2023 was 217,800 people, mainly in the textile and garment, leather and footwear industries, manufacturing components and electronic products, wood processing, etc.
Facing this fact, experts believe that stronger solutions are needed to help solve difficulties for small and medium-sized enterprises, reduce conditions, and simplify administrative procedures to create a favorable environment. favorable business.
Without strong and feasible solutions that create significant changes and changes, the labor market will suffer many risks and challenges, and employees will face many difficulties.
