According to the Hanoi Employment Service Center, in December 2025, the whole city will have over 93,000 people looking for jobs.

The Hanoi Employment Service Center said that it is estimated that in the city, in December 2025, there will be over 93,000 workers looking for jobs.

Based on a survey and information collection of over 4,100 job seekers' records of the Center, it shows that at the end of the year, workers increase their demand for seasonal jobs and part-time jobs to earn extra income to prepare for the Lunar New Year. The main salary that workers are looking for is 5-10 million VND (accounting for 77.1% of total job search demand). Next is the salary of 10-20 million VND (accounting for 20.7% of total job search demand).

In terms of age, the young workforce aged 25-34 continues to be the largest job-seeking force, accounting for 43% (down 34.% compared to the previous month). This shows that this generation of workers is in the most active career shift period. In contrast, the more experienced age group from 35-54 years old continued to take second place, accounting for 40.5%. The demand for job search of workers in December focused on the following occupations: simple workers (accounting for 18.9%), assemblers and operators of machinery and equipment (accounting for 17.9%) and management leaders (accounting for 15.9%).

In terms of professional qualifications, the largest proportion is the group of "untrained" workers, accounting for over 50% of the total number of job seekers surveyed; followed by the group of workers with "unskilled technical workers" qualifications, accounting for 23.5%. The labor group "University degree or higher" accounts for 18.4%. This shows that although the demand for seasonal recruitment increases at the end of the year, the opportunity to find stable, long-term jobs for the unskilled labor force is still limited.
