<!--start of story text-->There may be more jobs created, but at a slower pace, as Singapore presses on with its productivity drive, said Minister of State for Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin on Monday.

The Manpower Ministry's (MOM) preliminary estimates reported 27,400 new jobs created in the first quarter of this year. Of these, 19,800 jobs, or seven in 10 new positions, were from the services sector.
