Lucrătorii români cer un salariu de 7.000 lei net, în medie, când vor să se angajeze la o firmă (studiu) - StartupCafe

In Romania, job seekers expect a net salary of 7,000 lei, while employers offer around 5,400 lei, creating a 30% gap. The country has one of the lowest labor costs in the EU at 13.6 euros per hour. The IT sector offers the highest salaries, with Bucharest leading at 7,073 lei, significantly above the national average. The study highlights a growing disparity between salary expectations and offers, particularly in sectors like energy engineering and banking. Despite nominal salary increases, inflation has diminished real purchasing power, leading to a decline in actual earnings. Companies need to adapt recruitment strategies to regional specifics to attract talent effectively.
