Only 100 out of 8,000 displaced gaming workers found new jobs at a recent Philippine job fair.

At a recent job fair in Pasay City, only 100 out of 8,000 displaced Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGO) workers found new jobs. Despite 18,000 expressing initial interest, the low hiring rate is due to workers waiting for POGO resumptions, already having jobs, or finding offered salaries lacking. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is providing skills training and livelihood aid to support the affected workers.
