It seems that many job fairs are held last year and will continue well this year but why so few sporean applicants for service jobs?

Reason is cause service jobs are held with low status , in the west people respect you even if you worked as a cleaner but not here in asia especially singapore. So being unemployed like the guys who work in a F&B outlet after leaving a professional IT job, people look down on you sigh...

Tell me if you have a family or planning to have a family, will you be willing to go for a job that pays low. Low pay not able to help cover expenses and housing loan.

Tell me a job with the govt which take home pay is $800, is this amount enough to support a family?

Fantagf SG

Hope people will not post topic for the sake of getting attention and be superficial about the needs of others.

Low pay so low status. PAP policy encourages the low pay as they import cheap aliens.

That is why PAP must be removed.

Really? Not sure about that.

Fantagf SG

Really? Not sure about that.

hello, hit said cleaner is paid A$15 per hour. our local cleaners don't even get half of this amount

That's why PAP must be removed. They are not solving problems for Singaporeans. They are creating problems for Singaporeans.

PAP IS the problem for Singaporeans.

PAP still cannot understand local workers.

Appreciated that PAP do so many things to help the jobless.

But then if 1 job paying less than eg) $1.2k per month, how to support a family of 2 kids and aged parents living in 4 room flat?

well, firstly, there are many jobs requiring just an O level certificate and that can guarantee at least $1500, be it at the Integrated Resort, working for shop like Bengawan Solo. Secondly, it is better to have a job that brings home $800, than not to have a job

if you want local cleaners to be paid well, you will have to pay more taxes to the government and many people would be dissatisfied.

it would only be socialy responsible when the number of children people have is pegged to their ability to support the family. If a high flyer was retrenched and earns now less than $1.2k a month, then we can only blame the economy for not treasuring such a talent. but if a person all along had low income yet tried to live beyond his means by having 2 children then it's clearly his fault.
