SINGAPORE: The number of job vacancies in Singapore increased in March 2024 even as the number of those unemployed inched up, as a mixed picture emerges from the latest quarterly report on the labour market.

Still, the labour market remains tight as there are more vacancies available than there are job seekers, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said in its report of finalised labour market data for the first quarter of 2024.
