“MOM will continue to closely monitor the workforce profile of all firms and adjust our policy levers where appropriate,” Minister for Manpower Dr Tan See Leng said

Larger firms in Singapore that have at least 30% foreign professional, managerial, executive, and technician workforce have stayed consistent over the past ten years, at 20%, as per the latest data by Minister for Manpower Dr Tan See Leng on May 7.

However, on average, over the past ten years, around 20% of small firms have had a foreign PMET share of 30% or more. Despite small firms constituting 96% of all firms in Singapore, they only employ about 30% of EP holders, Dr Tan added. MOM will continue to closely monitor the workforce profile of all firms and adjust our policy levers where appropriate.”
