The coronavirus pushed down the number of store employees by 23,000 in the second quarter. Meanwhile, part-time employment has jumped. One-tenth of shopkeepers lost their jobs, or part of them, during the period when the shops first closed and then reopened. After reopening in May, not all shopkeepers could go back to their old place.

In the second quarter of 2020, the number of employees decreased by 23 thousand, compared to the first quarter. The change also shows that after the forced industrial goods store closure in April and in the first half of May, not everyone was able to return to their old place to do their previous work in a short time. This indicator – the number of employees – is the indicator of all employees, so it includes everyone who does anything in the shops (employee, entrepreneur, helping family member), even from the smallest businesses, less than five people.
