The report at the conference stated: After more than 35 years of renovation, Vietnam's labor market has gradually approached the region and the world. As a result, all policies supporting labor market development and job creation have been consistently implemented from the central to local levels, including policies supporting labor market recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, from 2011 up to now, the whole country has created jobs for more than 15 million laborers, and the unemployment rate has often remained below 3 percent. Especially, from 2021 to the end of July 2022, nearly 50 million turns of employees and other subjects were supported by the State budget, with a total amount of over 82 trillion VND.
