Job Vacancies in Czech Republic Reach Record High

Compared with the same quarter of the previous year, the job vacancy rate in the second quarter of 2018 rose in 20 member states; the Czech Republic also saw one of the largest increases in job vacancies (+1.8%).

A historically low unemployment rate in the Czech Republic and high number of vacancies on the local job market have been continuing trends in 2018, and economists see no end in sight.

In August, the unemployment rate in the Czech Republic remained at 3.1%, still the lowest number in the European Union and only a slight uptick from the country’s record low of 2.7%, recorded in June.

The largest number of available jobs was recorded in the Prague region, with some 63,000 open positions officially on the market.
