Unemployed workers in Dak Lak wait for the coffee harvest to work for hire

On November 10, the Dak Lak Provincial Employment Service Center said that the unit is coordinating with local chains to increase the organization of business fairs and job fairs in many communes and wards.

The activity aims to connect labor supply and demand, support workers in finding suitable jobs and help businesses recruit human resources in the last months of the year.

According to records, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the transaction versions conducted in both the East and the West of the province all brought positive results, but there were differences in the number of participants. The eastern area attracts a large number of people to consult, find jobs and interview businesses directly.

At that time, the number of workers participating in the Western region was still limited, mainly in the agricultural harvest season such as coffee. Therefore, the demand for working time workers has increased and collected only a limited amount, leading to many workers not being able to find long-term working time.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai, in Dli Ya commune, shared: I have more than 10 years of experience in textile and garment. Although unemployed, I have not had the opportunity to find a new job in the upcoming 2025-2026 coffee harvest.

"Going to pick coffee at the end of the year is paid a lot, so I will find a stable job after the harvest season" - Ms. Mai shared more.

Mr. Le Hai Ly, Director of the Provincial Labor Service Center, said: "We will coordinate with organizations, unions, businesses and cooperatives to connect working needs, contribute to stabilizing the labor market and ensuring income for people. These activities also contribute to creating more sustainable working opportunities and developing your labor market.
