The labor market is a reflection of the country's economy. The two are inseparable so before speaking job we will talk economy.
We are in Greece, and here, we prefer venter the beauty of the islands rather than talking serious things, normal I would say.
The labor market, some figures
The global situation is not the most ideal at the moment, and less for Europe. You should know that the global financial crisis has affected the Greek economy: the growth rate of -3.0% in the third quarter of 2013.
With such a decline, it is obvious that the employment sector is not doing the best. Indeed, the rate of Greek unemployment rises to 28%. The unemployment rate is the highest among young people under 25 years old (about 60%) and women have an unemployment rate of 65.1%.
Be aware that, unlike other countries of the European Union and this despite the introduction of more flexible forms of employment, jobs in Greece are overwhelmingly full-time jobs. Only 8.2% of jobs are part-time.
The companies
Over 80% of companies are small or medium size companies. Their turnover is less or equal to 150,000 euros. In addition, 65.2% are employed and the rate is significantly lower than the average of the European Union 83.4%.
Therefore, the average number are also relatively low. Indeed, an absolute majority of entrepreneurs (85%) use maximum 5 employees.
Forms of employment are based on business needs, and the most current vacancies in Greece are as follows:
- Sellers
- Clerical
- Servers
- Hairdressers
- Construction workers
- Employees of financial institutions
- Plumber
- Auto mechanics and fitters
- Deliverymen
- Technicians
Also note that the minimum wage is 683.76 € in the country. Hard to leave when the wage is not proportional to the level of Greek life.
