The Workforce Development Agency attributed the increase in labour demand to the economic recovery in the U.S. and Europe. In January, 80 percent of firms in manufacturing sector needed more workers; so as 72.2 percent of firms in industrial sector and 33.93 percent of firms in logistic and warehouse sectors.
