JOB POSTINGS DOWN IN JULY

The largest electronic career development platform reports a significant drop in job postings in July. There were nearly 6,000 offers, or 12 percent less than in June.

The largest decrease is in the hotel and restaurant sector. In the last week of July, the tendency for the newly registered unemployed to outnumber the employed continues, according to the latest data from the labor market monitoring of the National Statistical Institute and the Employment Agency.

The data shows a decrease in job postings across all sectors.

Experts comment that this should not be a cause for concern. A major factor in the decrease in the number of offers is the summer vacation period, when both employers and job seekers are less active in the labor market.

On an annual basis, the drop in offers is one percent or nearly 500 offers.

Apart from a drop in the hotel and restaurant industry, the largest reduction in offers was reported in the sectors of healthcare and pharmacy and administrative and service activities.

The leader in terms of the number of ads are trade and sales, as well as production.

The number of offers for work from home and/or remote work decreased by 7% compared to June. They are just over 5200 or 13% of all.

The number of refugee-friendly job postings in June was just over 2,500, also down 7% from the previous month.

For the period 25-31 July, 3,571 people were registered in the labor offices throughout the country, and 2,454 were employed.

Since the beginning of the year, the newly registered are just over 147,400 people, and those who have found a livelihood – 105,860.
