Factories in HCM that are (may be) hiring

Or just where are they located? And if anyone can give a link that would be great. My gf is unemployed, she just wants to work at clothing shops, but that isn't happening right now. I know there are a lot of factories here, so I suggested she look for work there, but she doesn't know about them. She'd obviously be unskilled labor, but imagine there is training or simple stuff that can be done. If anyone has even the remotest of leads, it would be a great help. Thanks.

Where does she live?  She will want to find something close to home.  They all pay about the same for starting wage for unskilled labor - 6,000,000-8,000,000VND per month for 48 hour 6 day week so might as well be convenient to where she lives.  There's a ton of factories.  Most still have signs posted outside looking for workers.  Plastic injection molding (my forte) is about the best for someone like her to get into for a "factory job".  It's light work, clean, not demanding.  Many factories are very dirty.  If she wants to work at a clothing store I suspect she's a girly-girl.  Not that there is anything at all wrong with that.  So plastic injection molding or light assembly would be my suggestion.  Let me know what district and I'll ask around.

District 3 would be the ideal, but she says she'd be willing to go to 1,4,8 and 10. She's stronger than your average Vn woman, but I don't think she's accustomed to heavy work so some lighter work to start out would probably be better suited for her.

I'll talk with my guy about this and the other thing we discussed yesterday.
