At the end of June and at the beginning of July, less than 5,000 people were registered in the labour offices, while the number of newly employed was twice higher - more 10,000. According to Atanaska Todorova, a labour market expert at the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria, the large number of people who started work is due to the launch of programmes for hiring unemployed people for general activities at the municipalities, as well as to the new programme Solidarity aimed to promote Ukrainian refugees‘ employment. 

Since the beginning of 2022, the number of registered Bulgarian jobseekers has exceeded 128,000 and the number of people who started a job with the assistance of the labour offices is nearly 94,000.
