Czech companies continue to face skilled labour shortage

Czech companies continue to face severe shortage of skilled workers, the Czech News Agency reported on Wednesday.

Manufacturing and IT are among the hardest hit by the lack of employees. At the moment, there are some 50,000 vacancies for IT experts in the country.

Catering, accommodation and personal services are also struggling to find workers as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, which forced people in these sectors to find jobs elsewhere.

At the moment, employers are offering over 358,000 vacancies through labour offices across the Czech Republic.
