The decline notwithstanding, the number of
job vacancies soared. The Labour Office of the Czech Republic announced that
363,917 jobs were offered by Czech employers in February, down from about 12,200 in
January.
"As far as the outlook for the next
few months is concerned, everything will depend on the current pandemic
situation and the related security measures taken. The war conflict in Ukraine
will most presumably have a significant impact on the future development,"
said Viktor Najmon, director-general of the Labour Office of the Czech
Republic. Mr. Najmon also emphasised that the Office in question had been
working in liaison with employers who were offering vacancies for immigrants
from Ukraine and approaching others to ask if they were interested in hiring
them. Likewise, employers have been also contacting the Labour Office of the
Czech Republic and reporting new jobs, in the wake of recent state affairs.
"At the moment we are registering almost 13,000 such positions," he
added.
