“The 60/40 measure will probably be extended by another 3 months, with the option of continuing it until the end of the year,” Minister of Labour and Social Policy Denitsa Sacheva said for the Bulgarian National Radio.
The measure will be amended so that the unemployed, whom employers will be able to hire, may be registered. There will be a stronger focus on bus transport in an 80/20 mode of assistance because it is a key sector. In Minister Sacheva’s words, the tendency, observed for several weeks, of more people finding work than losing their job is a consistent one. The daily rates of registration of unemployed are back to their pre-state-of-emergency levels. That is why no shocks are to be expected, unless other factors affecting unemployment emerge. Denitsa Sacheva adds that a rise in unemployment levels may be expected at the end of the year.
