Job Market Insights and My Job Profile are quarterly releases by the Institute of Labour Market Information and Analysis (ILMIA), Department of Statistics, Malaysia (DOSM). These statistics are compiled based on the online job vacancies advertised by various companies from various industries in the reference period. The report contains information on online job vacancies advertised by employers from various aspects such as by the type of occupation, location, industry, skills, the field of studies, and others.
Job Market Insights (JMI) present the summary of online job vacancies information in Malaysia. JMI aims to assess the changes in workforce demand over time while facilitating any interested parties to gather valuable insights for decision making.
My Job Profile is an online career information portal that offers in-depth details about the occupation in Malaysia at Malaysia Standard Classification of Occupations (MASCO). Through this portal, quality and timely job’s information will be readily available for various user categories to help them make informed decisions about their careers and future aspirations.
The statistics from this report must be interpreted with caution due to the data limitation. As is often the case with big data, although the report and information from Big Data Analytics: Job Market Insights and My Job Profile are elaborated, these online job vacancies do not represent the whole population of job vacancies in Malaysia. The report only collected data from four popular recruitment websites. There are no legal provisions that mandate registration of job openings by employers. Besides, MASCO 2020 Category 9 (Elementary Workers) and category 0 (Army) are also excluded from this report.
The Job Market Insights and My Job Profile can be used by policymakers, academicians, economists, researchers and other users for studies related to the labour market. It is hoped that this report can facilitate the growing demand for labour market statistics.
