Hiring requests for mainland domestic workers tripled

 

The number of requests to hire domestic helpers from mainland China increased to 481 during the fourth quarter of last year, suggesting that a significant number of local residents have opted for employees from the neighboring region as a result of the difficulty in hiring from other countries due to border closure. According to TDM Radio, the figures during the last quarter of the year have tripled from the same period a year earlier, when there were only 160 similar requests made.
