Over 22,000 people have been hired since early this year, one per cent more than the same period last year, according to the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.
The demand for labour steadily rose in many sectors, especially electronics, garments and mechanics, after businesses stabilised their production. However, most companies now require employees that are more qualified.
The department aims to bring jobs to 27,000 people in the second quarter of this year.
