It’s just that Vietnam’s job market has changed rapidly in recent years. Many young people like to join e-commerce or switch to industries that they consider to be more technically demanding. Nowadays, the continuous influx and growth of orders from the textile and shoe industries have exacerbated the labor shortage dilemma.

But a textile company said that even after paying 15 million, it still couldn’t find workers.
