On the other hand, the Sibiu County Agency for Employment has registered, in total, almost 5,000 unemployed people, to which are added about 4,600 social workers throughout the county.
“Analyzing these figures, from all colleagues, I think we can draw the conclusion that we are a county with a healthy economy, we are doing well compared to other counties. I know for sure that there are colleagues in the country where the proportion is the opposite”, said Dorel Aldea (main photo), director of the Sibiu County Pension House.
Dorel Aldea also wanted to draw attention to an important detail.
“If you look at the figures presented by the colleagues from ITM, you see that most of the employees in Sibiu county are registered in micro-enterprises, large companies actually represent a very small percentage. I think it is very important that we do more to protect these micro-enterprises and find solutions to support them. Including from a legislative point of view. As you can see, they represent the backbone of our economy”, added Dorel Aldea.
2.43% was officially the unemployment rate recorded in the records of AJOFM Sibiu in February 2024.
