45,000 new jobs

By Sue-Ann Chia

DESPITE the economic slump, Singapore will create more than 45,000 new jobs in the next two years.

About half will be in the two upcoming Integrated Resorts, with the other major employers coming from the health-care, retail and security sectors.

Read Sue-Ann Chia's full story in Saturday's edition of The Straits Times.
