Should we be concerned about our jobs?

What does the future of employment look like for Singaporeans? And will the workplace look very different?

“Singapore won’t return to the open and connected global economy that existed before the island nation went into a partial lockdown two months ago due to the outbreak of the coronavirus,” Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said, in the first of a series of national broadcasts by Government leaders, on the topic, “Overcoming the Crisis of a Generation”.

However, he tells Singaporeans “do not fear” and “do not lose heart” as the country had a headstart in preparing for the uncertainties ahead. “The Government’s biggest priority now is jobs.”
