This growth was attributed to a rise in working hours and a decline in the number of relatively lower-paid workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DSEC noted the heightened demand for manpower as the economy gradually recovers. In the third quarter, job vacancies in the hotel and catering sectors increased by 1,460 and 514, respectively, compared to the same period last year.\u00a0The job vacancy rate and employee recruitment rate rose by 2.5 and 11 percentage points to 3.4 per cent and 12.8 per cent, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this week, the DSEC reported that the number of people employed in Macau\u2019s gaming sector fell 3.1 per cent sequentially to 68,800 between August and October.\u00a0The overall unemployment rate in Macau stood at 2.4 per cent.
