România are cea mai mică rată a locurilor de muncă vacante din UE. Cât a scăzut numărul de posturi libere

In the second quarter of 2026, Romania recorded the lowest job vacancy rate in the EU at 0.5%, significantly below the EU average of 2%. The number of vacant positions decreased to approximately 26,500, down by 4,900 from the previous year. This trend reflects a broader slowdown in job demand both in Romania and across Europe, where the vacancy rate also fell. The sectors with the highest demand for workers in Romania included energy production and financial intermediation. The low vacancy rate indicates a potential mismatch between available skills and employer needs, suggesting fewer job openings compared to the previous year.
