Song Cong City has nearly 80,000 people at working age, of which non-agricultural workers account for more than 80%, agricultural workers account for less than 20%. In 2024, Song Cong City sets a target of 76.7% of trained workers, of which the rate of workers with certificates is 41%; the rate of unemployed workers in urban areas is 1.8%; the rate of poor households in urban areas is reduced by 0.26%, the rate of near-poor households is reduced by 0.12%...

To complete the set target, from the beginning of the year, the People's Committee of Song Cong City has assigned targets on the rate of trained workers, the rate of unemployed workers in urban areas, the rate of poor and near-poor households to localities. The city also directed relevant agencies and units to provide labor market information, connect labor supply and demand, support sustainable job creation for workers, prioritizing workers from poor households, near-poor households, newly escaped poverty households, and ethnic minority workers.

Mr. Nguyen The Anh, Chairman of Tan Quang Commune People's Committee, said: The job fairs have played a good role as a bridge between businesses and workers, contributing to expanding links and effectively exploiting the market. Especially for 12th grade students, they can grasp recruitment information to choose a major or find a suitable job immediately if needed. To provide more job opportunities for people, Song Cong City also reviewed and synthesized the demand for loans for the loan program to support job creation, maintain and expand employment in the city. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong, Director of the Social Policy Bank of Song Cong City, said: In the first 7 months of the year, the unit has provided loans to solve employment with a total turnover of over 34 billion VND, with 422 customers. From this credit source, many poor households, near-poor households and policy beneficiaries have developed production, stabilized income and escaped poverty.

Along with that, Song Cong City focuses on vocational training for working-age workers in concentrated agricultural production areas, new rural construction; workers in cooperatives, farms, craft villages; workers from poor, near-poor, and newly escaped-poverty households... The selected occupations for training include: Agricultural services; preliminary processing and preservation of agricultural and aquatic products; high-tech agricultural production; marketing...

For poor households in the social protection group (households that are unable to escape poverty because there are no people in the household of working age and capable of working), the city continues to implement support policies according to regulations, ensuring that 100% of poor households in the area fully and promptly enjoy the State's social security policies and regimes, limiting cases of re-poverty...
