Jobsat Salary.sg – Your Salary in Singapore |

In an online poll conducted here, 64% of participants indicated they know someone who’s lost a job. Close to 500 readers participated in the survey. Conducted over half a month, this poll is done in the same spirit as a BBC Poll we discussed previously. And our poll results are very similar to the UK [...]
Flip to page 8 of Sunday Times and read about an ex-telemarketer making $20,000 every month working for Citibank and DBS: “From 2000 to 2003, he was a telemarketer for Citibank and DBS Bank and earned a monthly salary of $20,000.

If you are a male fresh graduate affected by the recession, you should consider joining the Singapore Armed Forces. As reported in ST today, a lieutenant-colonel retiring at age 45 (the current retirement age) will get about $700,000 in gratuity. Such lump sum payments make it [...]

We are told a law degree can command a salary as high as $8,500 while arts and science courses are getting popular now.

In this jobless group, 60% are actively looking for a job, while the remaining are not. The poll was conducted over about 10 days with a better-than-expected 439 responses.

Read the full article at Our Poll Results: 45% Fresh Graduates JoblessI have spoken to a number of fresh graduates. What they told me about the employment situation is disturbing.
