This is indicated by a quick online survey conducted in the period March 31 - April 1, 2020 by the Bulgarian Industrial Association. 

33% of the surveyed employers plan to partially cut staff due to the economic crisis caused by COVID-19, 21% of employers plan to put all their staff on leave, and 10% - to temporarily reduce wages. According to data made public by Minister of Labour and Social Policy Denitsa Sacheva, an average of almost 2,500 people are left out of a job every day since the start of the pandemic in Bulgaria.
