In the first half of the year, the registered unemployment rate decreased to 0.64%. Since the beginning of the year, almost 9 thousand people have applied to the Employment Centers, which is 4 thousand less than in the same period of 2021. Half of the citizens who applied, 4,300 people, were employed, said the director of the Employment Center.

Most often, Kazan residents aged 30 to 54 are seeking for a job – 66%, and least of all – 7% – citizens aged 55 and older.

Along with the decrease in the number of active vacancies, the number of active employers is growing. As of today, 19,140 vacancies from 1.5 thousand employers are available in the employment services of Kazan. </p> <p> According to the survey conducted by the Employment Center, 264 employers plan to free up 500 people and 1.4 thousand employees work in part-time employment. “This is caused by the disruption of logistics chains, the change of owners and the need for enterprises to rebuild their work in new conditions”, - the speaker explained and assured that the freeing up of workers will not lead to an increase in unemployment, since there is a possibility of redistribution of labor resources. “A number of organizations that have announced downtime are planning to rebrand in order to keep their jobs for employees”, - T.Mullin noted. </p>
