A large-scale labor market analysis reveals a critical shortage of professionals in Bulgaria. Currently, the market has around 250,000 unfilled job positions covering strategic sectors such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
Expert circles identify an acute need for qualified specialists – engineers, medical workers, technical personnel, and administrative employees. The deficit is observed at both entry and advanced levels of professional realization.
Leading analysts warn about the need for urgent interventions. Demographic challenges, technological transformation, and the digital revolution necessitate large-scale retraining programs. In parallel with internal training initiatives, an active policy for attracting foreign talents is recommended.
