JEMPOL: The starting salaries for graduates entering the job market are expected to be higher by the next three or four months with the country’s economy seen recovering, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

He said the government was aware that the salaries received by new graduates last year were low and attributed the situation to the Covid-19 pandemic, which adversely affected the economic growth in the country, and globally.
