Labor market in Ukraine is experiencing a lack of personnel

The labor market in Ukraine is faced with a serious scarcity. Employers not only have difficulty finding employees, but are also forced to look for ways to keep them. This was reported by the Director of the State Employment Center Yulia Zhovtyak on the air of the telecommunication, reports UNN.

According to Zhovtyak, in 2024, only 250 thousand people managed to employ for 400 thousand registered unemployed. Previously, there could be dozens of reviews per vacancy, now their number has decreased to 1-2 candidates. Currently, Ukrainian employers are most in need:

  • drivers,
  • electric gas welders,
  • sellers,
  • accountants.

In addition to the problem of staff search, companies face the difficulty of holding employees. Employers are forced to improve working conditions and offer competitive wages to keep specialists.

Until January 31, the Ministry of Economy conducted a large -scale survey of 55,000 employers, who have a total of almost 5 million Ukrainians. Its results will be published at the end of February, which will help to determine the extent of the personnel deficit more clearly and to develop mechanisms for overcoming it.
