Pandemic motivates employees to acquire new qualifications

Almost half of the companies expect the economic situation in 2021 to be worse than a year earlier. Hence, entrepreneurs approach recruitment plans with caution. The Polish Labor Market Barometer of the Personnel Service shows that a record number of companies, as many as one in four, plan to cut jobs. Only 9 percent of employers want to recruit. Most of the layoffs will be in trade, industry, and the public sector. However, there are industries in which there are more and more job offers.
