Over 36,000 Myanmar workers find jobs in Thailand online

More than 36,000 Myanmar workers have received overseas jobs in Thailand through receiving and processing job offers via the online system, Union Minister for Labour U Myint Naung said in a meeting with the executive members of the Myanmar Overseas Employers Agencies Federation (MOEAF) in Nay Pyi Taw on 31 January.
The system started on 1 January and received 1,126 job offers until 31 January, which led to the employment of 36,422 Myanmar workers at companies in Thailand. The online system was conducted only with email, and the email addresses were provided again so that the process is not complicated, avoiding delay.
The agencies are sending workers with their schedules, and arrangements have been in place by the ministry to ensure the workers arriving in Myawady face no delays in their struggles to travel to Thailand. In addition, since difficulties arose in the Myawady-Mae Sot route for sending labour to Thailand, the Union Minister for Labour negotiated with the Thai Labour Minister and agreed to transport workers via the Yangon-Don Mueang flight. — TWA/TKO
