Prime Minister Hun Sen highlighted the promising job market in a Facebook post dated August 9, 2025, stating that a total of 189,493 positions in various enterprises, factories, and institutions are currently available in 25 capitals and provinces. These opportunities are poised to support returning workers as they transition back to life in Cambodia.

Smaller but significant numbers can be found in provinces such as Sihanoukville, Kratie, and Ratanakiri, with positions available in various sectors, ensuring a broad range of options for job seekers.

Prime Minister Hun Sen reassured citizens that the Royal Government of Cambodia is dedicated to providing employment opportunities to enhance daily life for its people. “We are committed to facilitating job placements and contributing to the construction of a better future for all Cambodians,” he stated.

For those interested in exploring these job opportunities, the National Employment and Labor Agency of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training can be reached at the telephone number “1297”.
