In 2025, fewer jobs were posted in a few print and online publications, which is a good indicator of the economy’s labour need.

The number of jobs advertised in selected print and online media, which partially gauges labour demand in the economy, decreased in 2025.

This is relative to what was observed in the corresponding period a year ago.

In total, 2,615 job adverts were recorded as compared with 2,725 for the same period in 2024, indicating a decline of 4.0% year-on-year, the January 2026 Monetary Policy Report has disclosed.

Similarly, on a month-on-month basis, the number of job vacancies in December 2025 dipped by 4.8% from the 2,746 jobs advertised in November 2025.

Cumulatively, for 2025, the total number of advertised jobs declined marginally to 35,546, compared to 35,810 recorded for 2024.
