Rise in Turkey's manufacturing employment
Data from the Turkish Statistics Institute shows that the manufacturing industry in Turkey saw a 1.7 per cent increase in employment year-on-year in the first quarter of 2008.
In a special report on the industry, the institute also found a significant difference between the public and private sector, with employment growing by 2.4 per cent and 1.6 per cent, respectively.
In the public sector manufacturing industry, the highest growth in employee numbers was seen in the electrical equipment and devices sector, while the biggest decrease was in the production of paper and related products.
Turkey's increase in manufacturing employment over the last year is in contrast to trends in other global economies where workforces in the sector have been trimmed over the past 12 months.
