20,000 jobs are waiting for workers in Ho Chi Minh City, more than half are garment workers.

The job connection festival for union members, young workers and laborers in Ho Chi Minh City is scheduled to be held on December 17 at the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Culture Palace.

This festival is considered the largest job fair in 2023, organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation in coordination with the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs, the City Youth Union and the City Business Association.

Among nearly 100 businesses registering to recruit at the fair, Worldon Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Dong Nam Industrial Park, Cu Chi) recruited the most with nearly 8,000 job positions, mainly sewing, cutting, printing workers... The reason is that this unit is expanding production, completing construction of a new factory, so it needs many workers.

Another garment company that needs to recruit a lot of workers is Dong Nam Viet Nam Co., Ltd. (Thoi Tam Thon Commune, Hoc Mon District) with a need for 800 sewing workers. Some other garment and footwear companies in Ho Chi Minh City also need to recruit for year-end orders, however, only at the level of 100-200 workers.
