TWICE AS MANY NEWLY UNEMPLOYED AS THOSE WHO HAVE STARTED WORK

The newly registered unemployed are twice as many as those who started work and are 5,234 and 2,686 people respectively - this is according to the latest data of the specialized monitoring of the labor market of the National Statistical Institute and the Employment Agency for the first week of August.

Since the beginning of the year, there are slightly more than 152,000 people registered in the labor offices, and 108,500 people who are employed.

For the period August 1-7, the largest number of people were registered in the labor offices in the capital - 649 people, followed by the regions of Plovdiv, Blagoevgrad and Varna. The data show that Sofia, the capital, also has the largest number of people who found a living - 247 people, followed by the Burgas region - 206.

From January 3 until now, there is a tendency for newly registered people to outnumber those who started work through the labor offices. The only exception is the week from June 27 to July 3, when those who entered work were just over 10,000, and those registered at the labor offices were twice as few.
