SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): The job market has shown signs for optimism in 2021, although some sectors will remain in the doldrums, labour chief Ng Chee Meng said on Monday (Dec 21).

The aviation and aerospace sectors, engineering clusters which support those sectors, as well as hospitality and tourism, are likely to stay muted, he said, noting that these are areas in "survival and sustainability modes".
