In the nine first months, the total number of employees in industrial zones remained about 98 thousand, a decrease of nearly 9,000 employees compared to the first quarter. Because the factories still held overtime work, the industrial zones' growth rate did not decrease significantly, only about 0.1 - 0.2 percent. Therefore, other indicators are still basically guaranteed.

Specifically, the 9-month revenue of enterprises in industrial zones reached USD 22 billion (equal to VND 506 trillion); the growth rate reached 75.9 percent of the year plan, higher than the province's average; the export value of goods reached about USD 20.85 billion; the import value reached USD 12.98 billion; the units paid over VND 5.3 trillion to the state budget, equaling 71.2% of the year plan.
