The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said yesterday that almost four million jobs awaits for Filipino job hunters.
Usec. Danilo Cruz of DOLE said that 1.5 million jobs will be formed in the local construction industries alone. Another 1.5 million for overseas employments.
Big infrastructure projects in 2012 that will provide employment of engineers, heavy equipment operators and skilled workers and projecting at least 2.8 million local hiring needed.
Usec. Cruz also said that countries abroad mostly the Middle East and Asia countries will open at least 1.5 million jobs for Filipinos in health care and construction industries.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said in that, despite of the ongoing crisis in many Middle East countries, POEA is still very hopeful that many jobs will be open for Filipinos and retain its traditional market like in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
2011 saw a growth in overseas employment despite crisis in the Middle East. But there was a decline in hiring Filipino seafarers as a result of Economic recession in Europe.
DOLE and POEA expects growth in hiring Filipino workers in the neighboring Asian countries which recorded a 60% increase in hiring last year.
