Just under 380,000 reached the newly registered unemployed throughout the country during the period between February 3 and the end of December 2020. This is demonstrated by the latest data from the specialized weekly monitoring of the labor market by COVID-19 from the National Institute of Statistics and the Employment Agency. During the same period, 235,000 people were employed through employment offices.
The data shows that in the last week observed, from December 21 to 27, the newly registered unemployed are twice as many as those who started working, respectively 3,400 and just under 1,700 people. The biggest is the predominance of the newly unemployed over the employed in the districts of Burgas, Varna, Pleven, Plovdiv, Sofia (capital) and several others.
Only with the opposite trend with fewer new registrants compared to those who started working are Gabrovo, Smolyan and Silistra.
At the last meeting of the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation, it was clear that with measure 60/40, close to 629 million levs have been paid to date to maintain the employment of more than 250,000 employees in more than 11,000 companies. Companies and unions await more permanent legal regulation of compensation to start work.
To this end, CITUB and the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association have drawn up draft amendments to the Labor Code. The union president Plamen Dimitrov said that the idea is to regulate the support mechanisms during the forced stay:
“The employer, when shut down by a government body or in a state of market failure and trouble, actually reduces its sales by 20 percent or more and must introduce part-time work for the part where the employee does not work. in both cases, pay 75 percent of their gross remuneration. “
