The number of unemployed persons registered at the District Labour Offices on the last day of December 2024 reached 12,382, down by 1,288 persons compared to December 2023 (a decrease of 9.4%).

Based on Cystat’s seasonally adjusted data that show the trend of unemployment, the number of registered unemployed for December 2024 reached 10,506 persons, remaining at the same level in comparison to the previous month.

The 9.4% annual decrease is attributed mainly to the sectors of financial and insurance activities, construction, accommodation and food service activities, professional, scientific and technical activities, as well as to the decrease recorded for newcomers in the labour market.
