Summary
Despite the pandemic causing a shortage of workers in Asia, there is a shortfall of people with the necessary skills to fill tech roles in companies. However, almost every sector outside of tech is hiring for tech workers. Tech jobs across Asia remain robust and are in high demand, with an increase in tech role listings on Seek's platforms. Applicants for those roles are up 14%, potentially due to tech sector layoffs and people feeling confident enough to seek employment as the pandemic comes to an end. Technological jobs make up almost half of the fastest-growing job titles in Singapore over the past five years.
