Employment Level Set To Exceed 4 Million In Hungary In 2014
Hungary’s employment level grew in 2013 and is set to exceed 4 million people in 2014, Sándor Czomba, the state secretary in charge of labour, said in an end-of-year assessment. Hungary’s jobless rate fell below 10% in a recent count and the number of employed was 235,000 higher than in 2010, at the time the current government came into power.

The rise included 80,000 people enrolled in public works schemes, 50,000 who held jobs abroad for less than a year and 100,000 in the private sector, Czomba told MTI.

He said the number of Hungarians working abroad, though impossible to predict precisely, has risen, but most of them return home within 12 months.
