Leading Regions by Number of Job Offers
The highest number of vacancies in June was posted by employers from Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Additionally, positive dynamics were observed in Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, and Odesa regions, where the number of vacancies increased by an average of 2%.
In-Demand Professions and Labor Shortages
Workers without experience are in particularly high demand — they account for 55% of all published vacancies. Traditionally, during the summer period, the number of offers in the service sector increases; however, for many months now, the leading category by the number of vacancies remains “Skilled Trades, Manufacturing.” This indicates a significant shortage of skilled workers in the Ukrainian labor market.
As analysts note, this indicates a severe shortage of skilled labor professionals.
At the same time, employers are actively preparing for the autumn season — the start of the new academic year and the period of increased demand for workers. This is why there has been a noticeable increase in offers for educators and recruiters.
The most active companies in June were: “Avrora” (1,315 vacancies), “Fora” (1,267), “Nova Poshta” (1,059), EVA (995), and Novus (958).
