Jobs, Jobs and more Jobs
I have noticed as I walk around PP that there are so many businesses, factories, hotels and bars, all advertising for staff. A quick look on the internet also shows
hundreds of jobs advertised and yet tens of thousand of Cambodians go overseas to Malaysia and Thailand and Cambodia and even wanting it's workers to go to Arab countries. I always thought that when there was a shortage of workers, salaries ended up going up, as some businesses poached the workers off other businesses by offering higher wages, and offered their own good workers higher wages just to keep them. I guess I'm wrong, as this does not appear to be the case here in Cambodia.
What's your thinking on the subject.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

They can earn more working elsewhere.
Re: Jobs, Jobs and more Jobs
They hire people before the busy season. It is not the same all year round.

Re: Jobs, Jobs and more Jobs
Isn't it desperation driven? I mean, for example, a worker out here on $150 for a 30 day month....
Food's gotta be costing $2 / day. One might save $90 / month. With no fun or accidents. Hard to get ahead.
At the other end, people only get poached if they are, in fact, capable. A rarity here.

If that was the case, how come everyone has new model motobikes , smartphones and can eat at Pizza Hut.

Borrowed money. Pawnshops and microloans are doing a booming business. Cambodia is one of the most indebted people in SEA. And what do a lot of locals spend their borrowed money on? New motorbikes, smartphones, and Pizza Hut.
Unfortunately lots of short term thinkers. ‘Now’ is the operative word. Saving and planning are in low supply.
