📋 Tender Overview

This number of jobseekers is increasing for all periods of vacancy except for people whose registration period is longer than 12 months. The most qualified jobseekers (higher education graduates) as well as young people under 30 are experiencing the largest increases. In terms of trades, the most significant upward variations concern secretarial and assistance work, culinary production and catering services, accounting and management, structural and finishing work. These same trades are increasing (one year apart) over the last three months.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, calculated by STATEC, was 5.2%, the same as the previous month.
The number of new registrations of jobseekers is on the rise. Indeed, 2,549 residents registered with ADEM during the month of July 2023, an increase of 298 people or 13.2% compared to July 2022. It should be noted that this month's new registrations include 86 registrations of beneficiaries of temporary protection (refugees from Ukraine).
The number of resident jobseekers receiving full unemployment benefit increased by 1,483 persons or 21.1% year-on-year to 8,515. The number of beneficiaries of a measure stands at 4,074 and is below the level observed in July 2022 (-147 people, or -3.5%).
During the month of July 2023, employers declared 3,289 vacancies to ADEM, which corresponds to a decrease of 17% compared to July 2022. This decrease in the number of positions reported concerns almost all sectors of activity, but it is mainly the accommodation and food services, information and communication, financial and insurance activities, as well as administrative and support services activities that are most impacted. It is in this last sector that temporary agencies are counted, among others, which are very active in the construction trades (42% of temporary contracts concern these trades).
