JobNet.com.mm Releases the Insights of Myanmar’s Job Market Trends During the Fourth Quarter of 2019

JobNet.com.mm, Myanmar’s number one job recruitment site, has released its Fourth Quarter report findings, providing timely and accurate insights into Myanmar’s dynamic employment market.

The quarterly report is a summary of an analysis of exclusive data collected on JobNet.com.mm between 1st October and 31st December 2019. With JobNet receiving over 120,000 job applications each month and continually hosting on average 3,000 job vacancies, the data gives insight into job market factors such as labour demand, the level of experience being sought, median salaries by sector, top paying job functions, and more. 

This quarter saw the Skilled Trade job function appear in most competitive and most applied for jobs, suggesting that Myanmar might be entering a new phase of development. It was noticed as well that there was a broader spread across applications for each of the top 20 job functions. This in general could be seen as a good thing, meaning that HR departments have more chance of hiring the right person for the right role as candidate continue to diversify in terms of their specialties and skillsets. Additionally, Project Management jobs enjoyed an increase both in applicants and average salary this quarter, another suggestion for growth in the business environment.  

Working with local and international employers, JobNet remains committed to supporting Myanmar’s human resource community and will continue to publish these quarterly reports.
