Imported workers pass the 75,000 mark

Following a trend that started in June, the number of imported workers continues to increase month-on-month. In November 2010, the total number of non-resident workers in Macau stood at 75,098, up slightly by 0.4 percent in comparison with the previous month. This was the first time since November 2009 that the number of importer workers stood above 75,000. In September 2008, Macau had a total of 104,000 imported workers, but since then the number had continually fallen month-to-month until it rose back again for the first time in June 2010.
