Where are the Jobs?

Many of us may think that working abroad could be the only way to finance our family’s needs. The greener pasture is always outside the Philippines – this is how our mind is set by no body else but the media.

Although it is somehow true, they’ve managed to magnify the scenario and twisted the truth to look and sound more appealing to their audience.

But the truth is, everyday there are about 7,000 job openings from different fields from about 5,000 different employers. And I am only talking about jobs here in the Philippines.

So why do we end-up packing our things and leaving the country? Moreover, why is it that millions of Filipinos are unemployed; to think that our literary rate is over 90%. |correction needed|

According to the January study (Rates of Employment and Unemployment, by Sex and by Region) done by the National Statistics Office, the male has an employment rate of 91.9% and the female has 92.6%. The unemployment rate of the male is 8.1% and the female is 7.4%.

Looking at the regional data, it turned out that the National Capital Region and the Region-4A CALABARZON have the lowest employment rate which is 87.3% and 89.6% respectively. Compared to Region-2 Cagayan Valley’s employment rate of 96.9% and unemployment rate of 3.1%

The study doesn’t mean “as is”, what I mean is that the bright future still isn’t at the province, but is possible. And it also doesn’t mean that the metro has minimum job offers, but it is possible.

One analysis I could give is that the population affects these data.

Let’s say there are 50 jobs in all regions at any given time. Manila has about 200 populations and Cagayan Valley has only about 80 populations. In the end, 150 people from Manila will not have a job and only 30 persons in Cagayan Valley. Do the math.

Conclusion: Jobs are everywhere! Not only abroad and especially not only in the Metro.

Philippines and the Government should establish more businesses and educate students on entreneurship so that in the future, Their will be an increase of entrepreneurs who will build businesses and these will lead to a decrease in unemployment.

Yeah your right, but the problem is employers are looking for skilled workers and filipinos compensation from their employer aren't enough to supply their needs.If only salaries increase and the cost of living in the philippines decreases. Filipinos will not be force go work abroad.
