Job offers in all sectors of the Bulgarian economy are decreasing in July, according to the analysis of a leading online job posting platform in the country. According to the data from the monthly analysis, a decrease of 12%, or over 5,000 jobs, was recorded in July compared to June. A decline in job postings continues to be registered on an annual basis, with July being 7% compared to July 2024, which means 3,000 fewer ads. 


This is the sixth consecutive month with a marked downward trend in job postings, reporter Natalia Ganchovska reported.

The decline in job offers is observed in all sectors. The reasons cited are the summer vacation period, when both employers and job seekers are less active, economic stagnation and the introduction of artificial intelligence technology into work processes.

A growth of 5% is observed only in the construction sector.
