Non-resident workers in Macau totaled 152,577 in February, a slight increase compared to the previous month, as the city is facing a worker shortage following the lifting of border restrictions. According to data from the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL), the city saw 699 more blue card holders last month. Workers from mainland China totaled 106,191, followed by those from the Philippines, recording 24,137, and 7,639 from Vietnam. Earlier this month, the government admitted the hotel sector is understaffed amid the current tourism advertising campaign aiming to boost tourist arrivals in the city.
