Other job sectors in South Africa seeing more concerning declines in hiring activity include the teaching and medical professions, with respective drops of 8% and 14%.“One reason for this may be that an increasing number of local companies are moving back to a more office-bound working environment as Covid-19 restrictions continue to ease,” CareerJunction explained.
