During the recent Lunar New Year, with the theme "Tet Sum Vay - Spring of Thanks to the Party", Nghe An Trade Unions at all levels (including the General Confederation of Labor; Provincial Labor Confederation; district, city, and town trade unions; industry trade unions and grassroots trade unions) spent nearly 40 billion VND on Tet care, for more than 40,000 union members, workers, and laborers to enjoy.

After the long Tet holiday, businesses have an increasing need to recruit workers and expand their business. Currently, although more than 40,000 jobs are vacant, many Nghe An workers are not interested in the basic salary in their hometown. In addition to improving the salary and benefits policy for workers in the area to be equivalent to the general labor market of the whole country, it is necessary to continue investing and focusing on building cultural institutions, social housing, kindergartens for workers' children... Only then can we attract workers far from home to return to work in their hometown.
