Already in March, the labor shortage from the shops also disappeared
+
From the second half of March, a hard period has begun in the trade labor market due to the coronavirus pandemic, which also replaced labor shortages. From March 16, it was only possible to shop in stores until 3 p.m., and from March 28, due to the curfew, the majority had to close. Exceptions were grocery stores, drugstores, and pharmacies selling basic items, where buying bouts began at this time. All of this has also left its mark on the labor market, where redundancies have begun, partly by putting some employees on part-time jobs and partly by laying them off. Grocery stores, on the other hand, were able to fill the headcount as many tried to make up for lost jobs with them.
