The largest salaries in Ukraine (up to 120 thousand hryvnias) are ready to offer specialists working with their hands: welders, CNC operators (numerical software management), etc.. However, the hardest thing is to find a job to lawyers, economists, librarians due to lack of demand.
This was told by the director of the State Employment Service Julia Zhovtyak in the media commentary. According to her, almost all spheres of the economy feel a shortage of personnel.
The most difficult situation is observed in sectors such as transport, construction and processing industry. The Ministry of Economics predicts that in the next ten years Ukraine will not have enough about 4.5 million workers.
The largest unsatisfied demand of employers falls on qualified workers. Seamstresses, electricians, plumbers, welders, car mechanics, CNC machine operators - these specialists are most in demand. For example, electric welders offer salaries up to 100 thousand hryvnias, and operators of the CNC machines - up to 120 thousand hryvnias per month.
In the labor market, structural unemployment remains. This is a phenomenon when professional skills of employees do not meet the needs of the market. Thus, a significant number of job applicants among economists, lawyers, librarians, postmen and other specialists cannot work out due to the lack of demand from employers.
To solve the problem of personnel deficiency and structural unemployment, according to Zhovtyak, the State Employment Service is actively engaged in the retraining of citizens. For example, training programs allow people to get a new profession, especially in demanded sectors. Registered unemployed can study for state funds, and people over 45 years old, veterans, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and persons with disabilities can use vouchers for training.
Among the new phenomena in the labor market, Zholnovich notes an increase in the number of women in traditionally " For example, in 2024, about 300 women became machine tools, 128 - cranes, and almost 200 took possession of the profession of a tractor driver.
Due to the shortage of experts, employers are forced to introduce new ways to attract workers. The standard salary is attached:.
