BANGKOK, 24 February 2012 – The Labor Ministry is scheduled to host a special event to help solve the problem of labor shortage in the country’s eastern region.
Mr. Phadermchai Sasomsub, Minister of Labor, said on Thursday that a special labor market in the Eastern seaboard area will soon be organized to allow potential workers to meet prospective employers.
The plan to host such an event was originated by the shortage of workers in the region.
