Today, the situation in the labor market is rather unstable and the prospect of losing work frightens many Ukrainians regardless of their age and profession. How to gain confidence in the future?

In addition, specialists from the Employment Centers provided a total of 1.4 million consultations. All this testifies to the importance of information and social services provided by the service to the public.
In the first years of the employment service, the level of officially registered unemployment in the region remained almost stable. In the presence of a sufficient number of vacancies and the possibility of retraining, directly in the process of employment, forced unemployment was short-term in nature.
Over the course of 26 years, the employment centers of Odesa oblast contributed to the employment of almost 556.6 thousand people, including 15.2 thousand unemployed, who did not have suitable work, received unemployment benefits once and started their own business. Of the total number of employed citizens, 12.2 thousand people received jobs created by providing subsidies to employers. Starting from 2013, almost 1,300 people are recruited for new jobs with a compensation of employer costs in the amount of a single contribution to the mandatory state social insurance.
120 thousand unemployed people mastered the professions and specialties relevant to the modern labor market, 236 thousand people received the opportunity to earn extra money in public works and other temporary work. Almost 2.6 million citizens received various vocational guidance services. 546 thousand unemployed people of the Odessa region received unemployment benefits.
