Shortage of labour in the service and construction sectors: NESDC
The National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) is warning of a significant shortage of labour in the service and construction sectors, with demand for workers as high as 13 million people.
Labour shortages have been a major problem this year, especially in the service sector, which is vital to the Thai economy. In 2022, the service sector was valued at 10.20 trillion baht, accounting for 58.7% of Thailand’s gross domestic product (GDP) and employed 20.80 million people, accounting for 53% of total employment.
