Companies plan to maintain employment at current levels

Plans to maintain employment dominate across various economic sectors, with some variation in changes in employment levels among different sectors, according to a survey by the Central Statistical Office. In sectors where employees are relatively easy to replace, there's a tendency towards employment reduction, except for industrial processing where slightly more companies plan to increase rather than decrease employment. Conversely, sectors with relatively difficult-to-replace employees show a trend towards increased employment plans.

The survey also highlights a significant increase in the percentage of companies planning to hire employees in the accommodation and food service sectors. Factors influencing wage levels include a company's financial situation and maintaining the real value of wages. The survey suggests that employment and wage decisions are largely based on current data rather than long-term expectations.
