Nearly half of job offerings in the Philippines posted higher salaries to lure talents during the second year of the pandemic, employment tracker JobStreet Philippines said Wednesday as more companies ramp up hiring programs in 2022.

"It’s not the technical know-how but it’s more of the soft skills that companies are demanding now," he told reporters.
