The persistent issue of unemployment and "job-skills mismatch" continues to challenge the local labor market in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. Despite the availability of vacancies, the reliance on manual referral processes, such as physical logbooks and walk-in applications, often leads to prolonged search times for applicants and unfilled positions for employers.
