HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT DUE PARTLY TO UNATTRACTIVE SALARY

Dept: High unemployment due partly to unattractive salary

SERIAN May 13, 2012: The Labour Department is urging employers to reconsider the salary offered to school leavers and the unemployed in the state.

Its assistant director Jessie Bidut said there were about 27,000 vacancies available in the private sector in the state at present.

However, factors such as mobility, salary amount and unattractive job position were among the key factors why some unemployed individuals had no interest in applying for these vacancies.

“We have around 30,000 active job seekers at the moment but they were unable to fill the vacancies due to reasons such as salary and location.

“We are hoping that the minimum wage policy announced by the government recently will help to reduce the unemployment rate in the state,” she said when met at the Job Placement Programme here yesterday.

Pointing out that salary of RM500 offered by some employers was not enough to even cover daily expenses, Jessie said the high cost of living was not helping the situation either.

Meanwhile, around 20 employers offering jobs in various fields, such as in the  management, technical, clerical fields, and as machine operators and general workers, participated in the Job Placement Programme.

JobsMalaysia had also set up booths to help jobseekers view the kind of vacancies available.

  1. Wouldn't it be better for the job seeker to apply any job regardless the salary and accept the job offer while finding another better job with higher salary??? Its better than doing nothing at home. At least you are earning money.

    4. begitu la bah tu..tapi harus ambil kira tempat bekerja...kalau tempat bekerja itu jauh seperti dari tuaran ke KK, maka tentu kos pengangkutan juga mahal..jadi kalau gaji rm500, cukupkah untuk makan, minum, pakaian, tambang, sewa rumah, bil2 dan kos2 lain yang mungkin terpaksa ditanggung seperti kos perubatan???

    1. Masalah pengganguran di Sabah adalah disebabkan remaja sekarang terlalu ingin mengejar kekayaan dalam masa singkat namun pancit di tengah jalan.

      Padam
    2. rasanya bukan sebab ingin mengejar kekayaan dalam masa singkat...tetapi disebabkan oleh kesedaran di mana mereka sedar kos hidup makin tinggi..jadi adakah salah jika mereka inginkan gaji yang lebih tinggi daripada rm500 yang ditawarkan oleh majikan?

  5. Increase in salary will be considered for those with higher qualification.

  11. Just because of low salary, most people rather don't work, so they sit at home and wasting time while they could get experience. Even when they finally found the job they wanted, they are likely to be rejected because they have no working experience.
