SINGAPORE – Locally born Singapore citizens made up the bulk, or 63 per cent, of the growth in the number of residents with professional, managerial, executive or technical (PMET) jobs from 2014 to 2024.

Disclosing the figure in Parliament on March 7, Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said that many naturalised Singaporeans and permanent residents who count towards the overall figure of 382,000 in that period are married to local-born Singaporeans as well.

Is my understanding correct?

Growth in PMET jobs consist of 2 category :-
1) Non-resident PMETs - ie, S-pass, Ep and above
2) Resident PMETs - ie, PRs and Sinkies.

What ah Tan is saying is .. in category 2, between PRs and Sinkies, Sinkies saw a 63% growth employed as PMETs.


So, if we put this in numbers , it could look something like this.
Disclaimer: Numbers are all made up.
1) Non-resident PMETs - growth from 2023 to 2024 is 1,000 to 2,000 = 1,000 growth in non-resident PMETs which means 1,000 PMET jobs went to foreigners..

2) Resident PMETs - growth in 2023 to 2024 is 100 to 200 = 100 growth. But 63% is to local born , ie, 63 PMET jobs went to locals, while 37 jobs went to PRs.

Yes, that is my understanding as well.

There are 3 groups here
1) Non residents
2) PRs who count as residents in govt stats
3) Citizens who also residents

Assuming non residents take up 40% of PMET jobs, and based on the stats just released, local born singaporeans only secured 63% of the remaining 60% of PMET jobs that went to residents. This means local born singaporeans only get 37.8% (63% of 60%) of PMET jobs. Also means 62.2% of PMET jobs went to foreigners.

Assuming non resident take up 30% of PMET jobs, and based on the stats just released, local born singaporeans only secured 63% of the remaining 70% of PMET jobs that went to residents. This means local born singaporeans only get 44% (63% of 70%) of PMET jobs. Also means 56% of PMET jobs went to foreigners.

Really creating jobs for foreigners. Totally makes sense why they didn't dare to disclose the figures for so long.

Moi England and statistic knowledge not so good.

So if only 1 sinkie PMET in SG while every other PMET position are held by PR/foreigners, if 1 more sinkie became PMET, does that shows 100% growth in sinkies PMEt? Mom should pat the self , and a huge bonus while at it.

PAP can spin it anyway to fool readers?

So there should be about 40k graduated students every year from poly and universities.. but only 24k doing pmet job??

There are 38k new pmet jobs each year.

24k sinkies can out-compete FTs, so the qn is what is lacking in the other 14k, that employers chose to hire FT pmets instead of them.
