NGM Minister of State: A more flexible labor market is needed

Cseresnyés Péter, Minister of State of the Ministry of National Economy (NGM), called the greatest challenge to make the labor market more flexible, including the transformation of public employment and the improvement of labor mobility and the balance of the labor market.

The Minister of State stressed at a conference in Debrecen on Wednesday that although the greatest shortage on the domestic labor market occurs for skilled workers, there is not enough unskilled physical workers either.

He added that employment is 67-68 percent, and the 4.1 percent unemployment means “we are close to the goal”: who wants to work, can find a job. (MTI)
