It\u2019s an uncertain environment that people are living in today, and Singapore\u2019s economy is no exception. With President Trump\u2019s trade war with China looking like it might be an extended affair, many people are worried about a potential global recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all the economic uncertainties, there will always be jobs that are in demand. Even in today\u2019s relatively downbeat environment, Singapore still has employment opportunities for in-demand roles in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth understanding which sectors have roles that are in demand and whether these are likely to continue to do well. The Ministry of Manpower released its\u00a0Labour Market Report for Q4 2024<\/a>\u00a0last month and the numbers paint an interesting story for those looking for a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five roles in Singapore that are still hiring strongly in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 Public Administration & Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If we look at the vacancy numbers from the report, one of the areas with the biggest number of opening was government hiring \u2013 especially in the public administration and education space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sector had 8,700 vacancies as of the end of December 2024 and that was up slightly from the 8,600 vacancies from the year-ago period. Roles in this area could include office manager, personal assistant (PA) or admin-related roles in educational institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Health & Social Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Again, the health and social services space comes under the umbrella of Singapore Government spending and here there was an increase in the number of roles available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the end of 2024, there were 6,000 vacancies in Health & Social services, up from the 5,800 at the end of 2023. Roles in this particular sub-sector could include medical-related roles as well as those of social workers, counsellors, psychologists, and therapists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 IT & Other Administration Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given the rise of technology in our lives, it\u2019s also not a surprise to see that Information Technology (IT) and other admin roles related to it are in high demand in Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the end of 2024, there were 5,100 vacancies in the sub-sector and \u2013 while this number was also high on an absolute basis \u2013 it was down from the 5,200 vacancies as of the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet some of the most popular roles that firms are hiring for within IT services include things that are seeing strong long-term demand, such as Cloud Security\/Threat Intelligence Specialist or Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Financial Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a regional and global hub of financial service firms, it\u2019s no surprise to see that Singapore is still hiring relatively strongly for financial services roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite the high total number of vacancies as of the end of 2024 of 4,500, the number of roles actually fell from 6,600 vacancies as of the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of what roles are in demand within the financial services space, according to Hays (a recruiting firm), some of the most popular roles in the space include Corporate Finance Director, Wealth Manager, and Compliance Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
