What happened
Singapore's MOM Q2 2026 labour report shows ~70,000 total vacancies, including ~39,300 PMET roles, down 8.6% from Q1. Public Administration & Education leads with 8,400 openings (up 20%), followed by Financial Services (3,900) and IT & Other Information Services (3,600). Median PMET monthly income was S$7,600 in 2025, versus S$5,755 across all workers.
Why it matters
If you're a Malaysian developer or founder weighing a move or remote contract to Singapore, IT vacancies still number in the thousands despite AI displacement fears and rising retrenchments. The data suggests government and financial services are the most active hiring sectors, not pure tech companies—useful if you're targeting where demand actually sits rather than where headlines point.
Discussion angle
With IT vacancies shrinking from 4,300 to 3,600 quarter-over-quarter while government openings grew 20%, is the Singapore tech job market cooling for builders specifically, and what does that mean for Malaysian talent flow?
