Imported workers surpass 110,000 mark

The number of imported workers surpassed the 110,000-mark for the first time, official figures released earlier this week show. In November, the total number of non-resident workers in Macau stood at 110,139, up by 0.5 percent month-on-month. The majority – close to 67,000 – came from the mainland. The hospitality sector was the number one employer of imported labour, accounting for over 30 percent of the total. The number of imported workers is expected to continue going up, as several new casino projects in Cotai are in the pipeline.
