Trade and service workers are in demand, including cooks, salespeople, educators’ assistants, and social workers. At the same time, there is a growing demand for unskilled labor, such as cleaners, unskilled laborers, loaders, and kitchen workers.
TOP vacancies with the highest salaries:
– Defense forces: inspectors and police officers of the special police – UAH 126 thousand;
