Mobilization 'broke' the labor market: Ukrainians are offered 90 thousand, but there are no takers.
Ukraine is facing a significant lack of skilled workers, especially in industrial regions. For example, in Kharkiv, employers offer high salaries and housing, but due to proximity to the frontline, it is difficult to find people willing to work. The President of the Association of Private Employers emphasized that there are vacancies for high-paying positions, but there is a shortage of the right candidates.
The country's economy is facing challenges due to the shortage of qualified workers, but some sectors still remain resilient, such as machine engineering, IT, agriculture, and light industry. Experts advise young people to choose technical and engineering professions, as they are in high demand in the labor market. Even in such a tense place as Kharkiv, over 75% of small businesses are reviving thanks to support programs and grants.
