A Message from Trang Nguyen, Head of Manpower Brand, Manpower Vietnam
Amid Vietnam’s evolving economic landscape, the momentum is clear. Throughout 2025, I have watched this momentum translate into measurable progress. It shows in expansion of global technology firms and the scaled build-out of AI and semiconductor R&D nationwide. It is reinforced by Vietnam’s strongest economic performance in over a decade - 8.23% GDP growth in Q3 2025 - and record foreign investment, largely flowing into high-value sectors such as advanced manufacturing, electronics, and real estate.
As businesses navigate this dynamic environment, understanding labor costs and talent trends becomes critical. That’s why Manpower Vietnam has curated the most up-to-date salary data for over 700 roles, enriched with practical talent insights. This guide is designed to help you stay agile and make informed, decisive moves in a year of change.

About the Manpower Vietnam Salary Guide 2026
What is a salary guide?
A salary guide provides typical salary ranges for various roles within a sector. Unlike a salary survey, which collects historical data from specific respondents, a salary guide reflects both current market pays and short-term forecasts, making it a sustainable and quick reference tool.
Why are there only 12 industry verticals?
Industries are grouped based on their similarity in business nature, production process, products, and services for effective analysis and planning. This Guide covers 12 major industry verticals in Vietnam’s economy, encompassing a significant number of enterprises and workers.
What sources were used to determine the salaries in this Guide?
The salary ranges and market information in this Guide are up-to-date, compiled from Manpower Vietnam’s extensive talent pool and business partners. They also include our projections for 2026, based on the market outlook and our expertise. We did the heavy lifting so you don’t have to!
What is the best way to read this Salary Guide?
The industry verticals in this salary guide are organized alphabetically. You can follow the Guide page by page or jump to your industry of interest by clicking its name in the sidebar menu or Table of Contents (page 5). Use the toolbar at the top of each page to ensure you don’t miss any valuable sections.
Who should I contact for consulting on a specific industry?
In each industry vertical, you will find the names of our featured consultants, with hyperlinked LinkedIn profiles and email addresses for easy reach-out. With deep understanding of your area, they can provide prompt advice and additional information upon request.
What should I do if I cannot find a specific job position?
Unfortunately, just like you can’t fit the ocean into a cup, our Salary Guide can’t cover every job position. However, the best way to get detailed information is by speaking with a person. If you need insights on a role that’s not listed, our consultant is just one click away!
What major market trends should I expect in 2026?
We’ve got you covered! To save you time from digging through all 12 industry verticals, we have analyzed and highlighted the most significant labor market trends in Vietnam for 2026. Explore them on our website or in our press release.
