Number of Jobseekers Continues to Fall In Hungary

• 4 Nov 2024 6:57 AM

The number of jobseekers in Hungary stood at 226,219 in October, 2,000 fewer than in the previous month, the state secretary for employment policy said on Thursday, citing data from the National Employment Service (NFSZ).

The October figure was the lowest for the month in more than three decades, Sandor Czomba said.

The number of people seeking work for longer than a year has fallen 4pc over a year, while around 20,000 Hungarians have found work with the support of programmes for under- and over-30s, he added.

The government aims to boost the employment rate to 85pc and tap the 300,000-strong labour market reserve, he said.
