The demand for representatives of blue-collar professions has increased significantly among employers in the Nizhny Novgorod region. This is evidenced by research data from hh.ru

Companies in the logistics and transportation sector, as well as the auto business, need specialists the most. 17% and 10% of vacancies for workers are posted there, respectively. In addition, blue collar workers are required in the retail, metallurgy and construction sectors.

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, demand for workers increased by 58% over the past month. Thus, in 30 days, employers posted over 50 thousand new vacancies for Nizhny Novgorod residents with a working specialty. Drivers, laborers, mechanics and plumbers are most in demand in the region.

According to hh.ru director Olga Bryleva, job seekers themselves are in no hurry to find work.
