Almost 95,000 Ukrainian refugees employed in Czechia

Some 94,400 refugees from Ukraine had jobs in Czechia at the end of January, the Czech News Agency reported on Sunday, citing an official from the national labour authority. To date over 190,000 people fleeing Russia’s war on Ukraine got work under Czechia’s special temporary visa protection system; however, many have since returned to their native country or left their jobs for other reasons. Seven in 10 of the Ukrainian visas working in this country are women.
