In war-torn Ukraine, officials and businesses voice concern about job vacancies
==========

Ukraine is facing a shortage of workers as it aims to mobilize up to 500,000 troops in the war against Russia. The government needs to find three million taxpayers to support the troops. Businesses are struggling to find a workforce, with a shortage of qualified specialists and a significant number of employees leaving the country or being called up for mobilization. Ukraine needs at least 4.5 million workers, with the biggest deficits in defense industries, construction, medical services, agriculture, and retail. The Silpo supermarket chain has faced challenges in finding employees in front-line cities due to Russian missile strikes. The company has implemented a support center for employees and changed its training programs to adapt to the situation. Small businesses are also struggling to find people for vocational jobs. The unemployment rate in Ukraine remains at the pre-war level, but some professions are not in high demand or offer lower salaries. Despite the challenges, businesses in Ukraine remain optimistic about their future and are investing in reconstruction and development. The government aims to stimulate Ukrainians to return home from abroad but has not yet implemented a comprehensive program for bringing them back.
