The labour market situation continued improving but at a more moderate rate reflecting influence of negative demographic trends. Employment will increase moderately in 2016, by 0.8% or 7,100 employed persons compared to 2015. The employment rate will be slightly above 62%. The steepest growth in the number of employees is expected in the sectors focused on domestic demand - commercial services and trade. As the demand for labour increases, average gross wages and salaries have also been rising gradually. They increased by 3.7% and 4.6% in 2012 and 2013, respectively, by 6.8% in 2014 and by 6.9% in 2015, reaching 818 euro. A rapid increase of wages and salaries was also observed during the 2016 Q1; average gross wages and salaries increased by 5.3%, as compared to the 2015 Q1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.baltic-course.com\u002Feng\u002Fanalytics\u002F?doc=122946\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.baltic-course.com\u002Feng\u002Fanalytics … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The report: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.em.gov.lv\u002Ffiles\u002Ftautsaimniecibas_attistiba\u002Fmakro\u002Fmakro_67_eng.pdf\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.em.gov.lv\u002Ffiles\u002Ftautsaimniecibas_attistiba … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
