In Singapore, job vacancy rates in the transport and logistics sector have become 2.4x higher than pre-COVID levels.

In the transport sector, QBE Asia said the shortage of workers such as bus drivers will continue to drive up operating costs.

Such a problem will also be "exacerbated by increasing demand for bus workers amidst the reopening of borders and recovery of the tourism sector."

For the logistics sector, QBE Asia said there is a shortage of skilled labour such as those with skills in supply chain management amidst rising demand for logistics services.
