According to the Social Minister, unemployment in the country is unhealthily low

Over the past 3 years, Bulgaria has imported more than 108,000 workers from third countries outside the EU. This means that there is a need for personnel, but this is also related to something quite important – a need for skills. This was what the Minister of Labour and Social Policy Natalia Efremova told BNT.

With indicators of 2.8% to 3.2%, our unemployment is unhealthily low, she commented and added that nearly half of the registered unemployed have very low qualifications. This is the reason why employers are increasingly looking abroad, the minister added.
