Currently, many internal migrants from various regions and states are arriving in Yangon Region, and the demand for jobs is high but job seekers report that the employment situation in most businesses is low at present.

"Now it is difficult to find a job. There are many people who want a job but it is more difficult to find people like us who have just arrived in Yangon. I just pray for more job opportunities," said a migrant from the Rakhine State.

Most businesses are facing difficulties and their ability to recruit new jobs is declining after the military coup. The demand for workers in workplaces increased only when the Military Conscription Law was implemented the recruitment rate has decreased again.
