SINGAPORE (Dec 20): Over a third of companies in Singapore are planning to hire in 2017, with 60% of them expected to hire at the middle-management level and 63% of them to offer a 1% to 5% salary increase.

These were the findings announced on Tuesday from the Michael Page 2017 Asia Salary & Employment Outlook survey, which interviewed over 450 Singapore employers across multiple industries.

In particular, the majority of hiring is expected to come from the digital, technology and healthcare sectors, where the government plans to boost investment, according to Anthony Thompson, the regional managing director of Greater China, South East Asia & India of Michael Page.
