The fourth Covid-19 wave has made it more difficult for businesses to hire the employees they need to fulfill the increased orders that they have been getting.
The Bac Giang Garment Corporation (LGG) in northern Vietnam is experiencing a major labor shortage with only 10 percent of its employees working.
CEO Luu Tien Chung said at a recent meeting that most of LGG’s employees are isolated at home, with the province being the second largest Covid-19 hotspot in the country behind Ho Chi Minh City.
