In November, the number of job advertisements continued to decrease, as compared to October it was by 5.9% less, it is clear from the monthly analysis of the dynamics of the labor market in our country on a job placement platform. The total number of offers on job sites in the country in November was just over 40,000, and compared to November 2020 they are as much as 86% more.
The downward trend is observed in almost all sectors, with growth only in the Accounting, Auditing, Finance (8%) and IT (1%) sectors.

Reporting on an annual basis
Compared to November 2020, however, the picture is quite different - there is a double-digit and even three-digit growth in job advertisements in each of the sectors. We remind you that during this period in 2020 we reported one of the lowest levels of published ads since the beginning of the pandemic, surpassed only by those in March 2020.
Although in the last 6 months there has been a slight but steady decline in ads in the hotel and restaurant sector, their number compared to November last year was as much as 249% higher.
Compared to 2020, the growth of proposals in the sectors "IT" (126%), "Accounting, Auditing, Finance" (115%) and "Administrative and Service Activities" (109%).
The annual growth of ads in other sectors is: "Trade and sales" (92%), "Marketing and advertising" (81%), "Production" (72%), "Logistics and transport" (65%), "Health and pharmacy" (56%) and "Construction" (52%).
In the share distribution of job advertisements, the Trade and Sales sector is still leading with 21%. The share of the IT sector continues to grow and in November the number of proposals in it was 19% of the total number of ads in the country. In third place is "Production" with 15%, followed by "Administrative and service activities" (11%), "Hotels and restaurants" (9%) and "Logistics and transport" (8%).
For the first time, the number of advertisements in the Accounting, Auditing, Finance sector (5%) exceeds that in the Construction sector (4.8%) and so they exchange eighth and ninth place in the share distribution. Last in it are the sectors of Health and Pharmacy (4%), Marketing and Advertising (3%) and Art (1%).
Work from home
Proposals for work from home and/or telecommuting increased by 3% compared to October. Their share in the total number of ads is 14.8% or 1 in every 7 ads already gives us the opportunity to work remotely.
These proposals are most numerous in the IT sector (67%), work from home is also offered in the field of "Administrative and service activities" (14%) and the outsourcing industry (13%) and "Trade and sales” (5%).
In October, we mentioned the appearance of a green certificate (certifying the completed cycle of vaccination against COVID-19 or its recovery), as a requirement in some job advertisements.
Although their number increased in November, they still account for only 0.4% of all offers in the country. The advertisements in which this requirement is present are mainly in the sectors "Hotels and restaurants", "Services" and "Trade and sales".
Offering by cities
Half of all proposals in the country are concentrated in the capital, and together with those in other leading regional cities account for 75% of all ads. The proposals are distributed as follows: Sofia (50%), Plovdiv (10%), Varna (7%), Burgas (3%), Ruse (3%) and Stara Zagora (2%).
