In its report of the socio-economic situation in 2015 the Central statistical office GUS indicates that the employment situation has slightly improved compared to the year 2014. According to estimates, the number of persons employed in the national economy at the end of 2015 was by approx. 2% higher than a year before. Paid employment in the enterprise sector gradually strengthened in subsequent months and, as a result, in the whole year a growth by 1.3% was recorded (compared to the increase by 0.6% a year before). According to the labour demand survey, in the three quarters of 2015 more new jobs were created than in the corresponding period of 2014; at the same time, fewer jobs were reduced. Average monthly nominal gross wages and salaries in the enterprise sector grew at a stable pace (3.5%), slightly slower than in 2014.
