Hanoi lacks human resources with practical skills
A survey by the Hanoi Employment Service Center shows that the demand for recruiting technical and skilled human resources has increased but the supply is not enough.
According to the Hanoi Employment Service Center, over the years, the city has always exceeded the employment targets (creating more than 200,000 new jobs per year); maintaining the unemployment rate at a low level (in 2024 to 1.02%); the average income of workers will reach nearly 11 million VND/person/month in 2024.
However, the Hanoi labor market currently faces many challenges, notably the supply of workers with technical and skilled qualifications. According to a survey by the Hanoi Employment Service Center, although workers with university degrees or higher have increased sharply, the market is "thirsty" for human resources with practical skills. The demand for technical labor recruitment is increasing, while the proportion of labor through formal vocational training (middle-level, college) is growing slightly (accounting for only about 6%), leading to the paradox of "more teachers, less workers".
With these shortcomings, the Hanoi Employment Service Center predicts that the Hanoi labor market in 2026 will not grow rapidly in quantity but will switch to selective recruitment. Instead of mass recruitment, businesses focus on positions that are really necessary for production and business activities, prioritizing skilled, experienced and quickly adaptive personnel.
