Government agency Ilmia says employers have been finding it increasingly difficult to fill positions in the manufacturing and services sector. FMTNews

Many jobs remain difficult to fill despite ongoing recruitment efforts, says Ilmia.

These include information communications and technology managers, mathematicians, actuaries and statisticians, machinery and equipment and advanced engineering professionals, and policy and planning managers. The report titled “Critical Occupational List: Signalling Jobs That Are in Demand”, made available to FMT, proposed hiring foreigners to fill such positions until local talents are found.

The report also listed “hard-to-fill” jobs that remain vacant for three months or more despite ongoing recruitment efforts. It said Malaysia has a relatively young workforce for these two sectors, with 42.6% of full-time employees between 25 and 34 years of age.
