Jobless rate increased 0.3% in January, to 8.1%, while the total number of unemployed people reached 740,982, of which 605,371 jobs in the private sector.
Analysts’ estimates and the recent statements of the governor of the National Bank of Romania suggest that despite the first signs of economic recovery, it could take long before employment rate to go down.
“The unemployment rate will increase further and we may see the public sector shedding more jobs this year”, said Rozalia Pal (photo), senior economist with UniCedit Tiriac Bank Romania, adding that the impact of public sector layoff could add 1% to the existent jobless rate.
The public sector is expected to axe 100,000 jobs.
“The unemployment rate could peak at 9%, and at the end of the year, we may see a recovery driven by the private sector. In our view, jobless rate would hit 8.5% mark this year”, Rozalia Pal added.
