SINGAPORE - Local employment in the infocomm media sector grew by 5 per cent last year, or about 8,000 people, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The sector has been “remarkably resilient”, Minister for Communications and Information Josephine Teo said on Wednesday (July 7). It grew 4.8 per cent last year, even as the broader economy shrank 5.4 per cent.
Speaking at an event held by NCS, local telco Singtel’s infocomm technology business unit, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Mrs Teo said the local share of Singapore’s infocomm media workforce had remained steady at about three in four over the past few years.
