Over 114,000 imported workers in March

The total number of non-resident workers in Macau stood at 114,716 in March, official data shows. This is a new all-time high, up by 1,440 from February, the previous record. The majority – over 69,000 – came from the mainland. Last month’s growth was fuelled by the construction sector. However, the hospitality sector was the number one employer of imported labour, accounting for over 30 percent of the total. The number of imported workers surpassed the 110,000-mark for the first time in November.
