Unemployment in Singapore

I need your help to do some research on unemployment in Singapore

a) How many citizens and permanent residents lose their job each year, due to retrenchment or business failure of their employers, i.e. not due to change of job? It varies from one year to another, but I like to have an average over a number of years.

b) What is the proportion of people who lose their job, i.e. taking this average number as a percentage of those in the workforce.

c) How long does it take to find a new job and what is the average salary for the new job compared to the job that was lost? This statistics may be difficult to get, but I hope that some approximate figures are available.

d) How long does it take a school leaver to find a full time job?

You can post your findings here or send them to kinlian@gmail.com
