“I can’t say that there is any demand for specific narrow specializations. Now a lot of work for transporters: carriers, drivers. This is something that is now in high demand. There are most vacancies in construction . If you are going to Kyiv region now, you can see that what the occupiers destroyed is being actively rebuilt, work is being done on bridges, ”Marchenko said.

In addition, he noted that overall wages have fallen.
“In some areas – very significantly, but we still do not have official statistics. Since January of this year, the State Statistics Committee has not published statistics on the labor market, we can focus on job search sites. According to them, the level of wages offered by employers to job seekers, depending on the specialty decreased from 30 to 50%. Very often now, due to the fact that the significant economic decline in Ukraine is due to the war, many people do not work part-time, “Marchenko said.
According to him, people seem to work full time, but due to the fact that the number of hours they work is much less, they can earn 20-40% of all their income, to which they are accustomed to the war.
“Therefore, there are no exact figures here, we can only say in general that wages have fallen by 30-50%, and it depends very much on a particular company and a particular business,” – said Marchenko.
Addition
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, the total direct losses of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine have been $ 85 billion.
