Official statistical analyses from the National Statistical Institute (NSI) reveal an unprecedented growth in the labor market in Bulgaria. By the first quarter of the current year, employers have announced an impressive 22,300 vacant positions, which represents a remarkable increase of 21% compared to the same period of the previous year.
Economic experts associate this positive trend with several key factors: accelerated digitalization of the business environment, targeted employment stimulation policies, and signs of recovery in various economic sectors. The new statistics provide an optimistic perspective for those seeking professional realization.
Despite the quantitative growth of available job positions, specialists warn of existing challenges. The shortage of qualified personnel remains particularly noticeable in strategic areas such as information technologies, engineering specialties, and the green innovation sector.
The current statistics unambiguously show positive signals for labor market dynamics, while simultaneously highlighting the need for targeted investments in human capital and professional training.
