In the housing sector, whichhas accounted for around 6 percent of the total demand, the market'srecovery and growth has led to an increased need for human resources.
Inthe textile and footwear sectors, Vietnam has been getting more andmore orders from markets like the EU, Japan, and the US. According tothe city's industrial parks and export processing zones, investment inthe two industries has accounted more than 70 per cent of the totalinvestment this year.

Of 60,000 workers neededin the remaining months, manual workers will account for 35 percent, upfrom 25.2 percent in the third quarter, mostly in sales, services,textiles, and tourism-hospitality.
The rest will be skilledemployees and graduates from universities, colleges, and vocationalschools in the fields of IT, mechanical engineering, electronics,electricals, and telecom.
