(VOVworld) – Vietnam sent over 17,000 workers abroad in the first 2 months of this year, up 23.5% from the same period last year. Chinese Taiwan remained the largest market for Vietnamese guest workers with 11,000 workers, 63.5% of the total. Taiwanese authorities said they are considering recruiting Vietnamese workers as fishermen and housemaids, which will increase opportunities for Vietnamese to work in this traditional labor market.
