Quarterly Jobs Report Quarter 1 - 2019
- June 6, 2019
The Global Business Services Sector continues to grow at a healthy rate as existing clients allocate more and more campaigns to their delivery centres in South Africa and as new companies come into the country. Tough and changing global market conditions combined with a growing awareness of the value that South Africa has to offer are contributing to this growth which remains above 20% CAGR.
The latest Quarterly Jobs report shows that more than 3,300 new export jobs were created in the first quarter of 2019, having a positive impact on export revenues and, critically, on job creation for unemployed youth.
BPESA and the dti will be in the USA later this month with a delegation of South African companies to market the country and will follow this up with further trips to the UK and with the GBS investor Conference to be held in South Africa in November to which investors from our major source markets will be invited.
