Minister of Labor and Social Policy Denitsa Sacheva said that the measure 60/40, introduced by the government to support employment in small and medium-sized businesses, will continue to work after the end of the current state of emergency. The measure was proposed during the state of emergency ending on May 13, but will remain in force until the middle of June, it was reported.

Since the beginning of the crisis, nearly 88,000 unemployed have been registered with the labor offices. The total number of registered unemployed is 291,000. About 12,000 people who have previously worked in the informal economy without proper employment agreements were left without assistance, Minister Sacheva said.
