Clark now has 45,011 workers
By Rendy Isip - Manila Standard Today
CLARK FIELD, Pampanga—There are now 45,011 workers in this special economic zone, the Clark Development Corp. reported yesterday.
CDC president Victor Jose Luciano attributed the rise in employment at Clark to the new locators, such as new call centers, that started operations here between June and August.
Luciano said Clark continues to be the favorite destination of investors in Central Luzon noting the ongoing infrastructure projects that are being set up to make Clark and Subic Economic Zone as the logistics hub in the country as envisioned by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Earlier, the President graced the opening of the Clark Center of Excellence of the IntelliRisk Management Corp. where at least 1,000 jobs are expected to be generated by the end of 2006. While another call center Sutherland Global Strategies is also expected to employ 1,200 jobs.
In a report submitted by the customer service department to Luciano, workers in CSEZ are now 45,011 ending the month of July this year.
The report said the employment figure was released by the 309 reporting locators from the 372 operating firms inside the Clark ecozone.
The figure has doubled since the assumption of President Arroyo as Chief Executive on January 2001, records submitted by the customer service department’s to Luciano.
There are now 8,128 new workers since January this year from the Dec. 31, 2005 which accounted 36,883 workers to 45,011 at the end of July. Last June, customer service department’s reported that there are 44,066 workers in Clark. Most of the workers are employed in garment factories which manufacture signature apparel.
The garments sector were able to contribute some 370 workers last month, boosting the number of workers to 13,159, or 29.24 percent of the total workforce in Clark.
Angelo Lopez Jr., CDC’s public relations department manager, said more jobs will be generated by two new call centers: IntelliRisk Management Corp. which will initially employ 600 workers from its $2.5 million state-of-the-art firm, and Sutherland Global Services Inc. which is eyeing 1,000 workers once operational.
He said that the biggest call center in Clark-Cyber City Teleservices Inc. is also in need of 1,000 call center representatives to fill up the multimillion-dollar expansion project of the firm up to 2007.
The employment level in Clark may further increase as indirect jobs will also be generated by the consignors, boutiques and other shops at the newly opened SM City Clark, Lopez said
