Sharp rise in imported workers in Macau

The number of imported workers has increased for the third month in a row, after almost two years of decline. In August, the total number of non-resident workers in Macau stood at 73,719, up by 1,510 people or two percent in comparison with the previous month. In September 2008, Macau had a total of 104,281 imported workers, but since then the number has continually fallen month-to-month until it began to rise up again for the first time in June 2010.
