Total employment in Singapore grows for 6th straight quarter
Singapore’s total employment rate grew in the first quarter of 2023 - the sixth consecutive quarter of increase - even as the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) noted some signs of cooling labour demand.
Total employment was at 3.8 per cent above the pre-pandemic level of December 2019, said the ministry, adding that non-resident employment exceeded that level for the first time - 1.7 per cent above - as of March 2023. The increase in non-resident employment was mainly in construction and manufacturing, noted MOM.

Police patrol robots to be rolled out across Singapore; two already at Changi Airport
Two Singapore Police Force (SPF) patrol robots have been deployed at the terminal since April to complement frontline police officers, serving as additional eyes on the ground. And there are plans to roll out more across Singapore, said the police on Thursday (Jun 15).
