Nghe An is currently a province with a large labor force and abundant human resource potential with 1,651,500 people of working age, the rate of trained workers reaching 52%. This is a great advantage in the process of implementing the goals of industrialization, modernization, and socio-economic development in the area. However, due to the large population and large labor force, it is creating a lot of pressure on job creation for workers in the area. Statistics by the end of 2014, the whole province still had more than 22,940 unemployed people and tens of thousands of underemployed workers.

In recent times, the work of job creation in the area has achieved many positive results. In the period 2011-2014, the whole province created jobs for 141,800 workers. However, the work of job creation has not yet met the needs of society, especially the lack of jobs for workers who have graduated from universities and vocational colleges. It is estimated that the labor demand for job creation from 2015-2020 is about 223,350 people.

Mr. Dang Cao Thang, Deputy Director of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Nghe An province, briefly presented the project to solve employment for workers in Nghe An province.
