Well As at December 2011, the total workforce was 3.02 million not including the foreign domestic workers.

Residents (i.e. SCs and PRs) formed the majority of the workforce at 67%, with foreign workers making up the remaining 33%.

More than half of the resident workforce was professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMET).

Foreigners make up 43% of the non-PMET workforce comprising low to semi-skilled workers.

Access to such workers in key sectors has helped to keep business costs lower.
