The number of job seekers at one Community Development Council (CDC) shot up by some 40 per cent in the past three months.
South East CDC registered over 1,100 people looking for employment, between November and January.
It is no surprise then that hundreds of job seekers turned up in full force at the CDC's one-day job fair on Saturday.
Organisers said more than 1,000 jobs are available in various sectors like healthcare, retail and logistics.
About 12 businesses and recruitment agencies and six training providers were also at the fair.
The CDC plans to organise about 100 such recruitment exercises this year. It organised a total of 87 such events in 2008, and rolled out 10 new ones in January alone.
