Singapore Singapore outlook 2020 The latest data from The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) show that employment demands in 2020 will remain high in Engineering, IT, and Sales positions. These positions continue to be hard to fill in Singapore because of the shortage of talent in these areas.
Yet, employees in the professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMET) category, who make up over half of the local workforce, are the most vulnerable in the labour market. They are the hardest-hit in lay-offs and take the longest time to get re-employed - even when the bulk of vacancies are for PMETs. Reason is simply that the skills of many PMETs are no longer suitable for the new digital economy.
In a recent poll done by the MOM among business leaders in Singapore, 40 per cent say that not all the jobs coming into the market in 2020 will be classified as high-skilled. The rebound in the construction sector is likely to continue in 2020, creating a need for even more workers. Also continuously in demand will be the rank-and-file roles in the services industry.
Economists agree that the present slowdown is not quite the same as previous economic downturns that Singapore has experienced. And the key difference between then and now is that there are new growth areas brought about by digitisation.

2020 Singapore salary forecast Singaporeans hoping for a huge salary jump in 2020 might be in for a disappointment, as the republic’s average salary increase is expected to be three per cent after accounting for inflation. But Singapore employees will still see a larger increase than their regional neighbours, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
