Since the beginning of 2025, there has been active demand for blue-collar and service professions, reflecting the real needs of the economy in wartime.

Interestingly, the demand for auxiliary workers exceeds the number of candidates (18 thousand resumes), while there are fewer offers for drivers (10.6 thousand resumes). In the trading sector (for sellers) and cooks, there are also clearly more job seekers than vacancies, indicating competition. Conversely, rare professions, such as bandurists or champagne preparers, have only a few requests, indicating their specificity.

In the face of economic challenges related to war, this data reflects labor market dynamics and emphasizes the importance of professions that support basic needs of the population. The growing competition in popular fields may affect wages and working conditions, so potential workers should strive for continuous improvement of their skills.
