According to the Man Power and Labor Market Forecast Center in Ho Chi Minh City, the shortage of man power usually occurs in some sectors after the traditional Tet festival, the city therefore needs around 30,000 labors.
Some sectors such as garment and textile, leather and handicrafts, services see the shortage. Enterprises are in demand of recruiting 15,000 permanent workers and approximately 8,000 seasonal employments with intermediate education level and unskilled laborers to fill the vacancies.
It is forecast that in March, the city needs around 30,000 employees in the fields such as mechanics, electronics and industrial electricity, architecture – construction techniques, plastic, real-estate and garment- textile.
Along with recruiting unskilled workers, enterprises also need qualified employees including 40 percent of those with three year and four year studying in colleges.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
