Job Opportunities in Singapore

Singapore has a prosperous free-market economy and consistently ranks high on lists of the world's least corrupt countries. At 2.6 per cent, unemployment is low. The country's port is one of the busiest in the world, relying heavily on exports.

The country's economy is primarily reliant on exports of electronic components, chemicals, scientific instruments, pharmaceuticals, and processed foods and beverages, as well as on its transportation, business, and financial services industries.

In spite of the government's efforts to lessen the country's reliance on foreign employees, Singapore remains an open and varied culture that draws many international graduates.
