PETALING JAYA: The latest employment data points to a critical issue that the authorities must pay more attention to – the lack of high-skilled jobs.
The creation of skilled jobs is highly critical, considering that Malaysia struggles to exit the middle-income trap and graduates suffer from the skill-related underemployment issue in the country. “There is a time lag for the realisation of high value, high growth industries and investment to create high skill jobs, especially in the technology sector.
