Foreign worker influx slower than expected - ST headlines

As reported : "Singapore created 112,500 jobs last year, nearly half of them going to Sinagporeans and permanent residents (PRs), according to the Minstry of Manpower (MOM) yesterday."
Questions :
- breakdown of above figure between Singaporeans and PRs
- salary range and age groups jobs taken up

"Overall, total employment for 2010 increased by 112,500, powered by the services sector, which contributed 109,500 jobs."
Assuming the "services sector" refers to the two IRs, our employment and economic growth last year was primarily powered by the "casino" related economies - very unhealthy, complex social and moral implications, a grave concern here.
