Labour Minister Suchart Chomklin has said, “As of October, there were 222,871 vacancies.

Department of Employment director-general Pairoj Chotikasatien said his department has produced video clips to promote jobs in 42 leading companies in 16 provinces, adding that this would encourage Thais who have completed their secondary schooling to apply. Job seekers can apply for such jobs on the department’s website.
