According to Eurostat, Belgium has the third highest number of job vacancies in the European Union, owing partly to an increase in demand for workers as a result of the rapid economic rebound following the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the first quarter of 2022, job vacancies in the Eurozone averaged 3.1 percent of total labor supply, up from 2.1 percent the previous quarter. There are now 0.9 percentage points more openings than there were before the Covid-19 epidemic, as the rate has increased since the fourth quarter of 2019.
Belgium has much more job vacancies than the European average, with 4.8 percent. Czechia (5.3 percent) had the highest job vacancy rate in the EU in the first quarter of 2022, followed by the Netherlands (5.2 percent) (4.9 percent ). Austria is in fourth place (4.7 percent), slightly behind Belgium.
Greece (0.8 percent), Spain, and Bulgaria, on the other hand, had the lowest rates (both 0.9 percent ).
