Nearly 50% of Ukrainians worked in the field of business services. This area includes temporary working agencies. In addition to business services, a relatively large number of Ukrainians worked in trade, the field of transportation and hotel services (32%).
It was reported that during 2022 and 2023, part of those who worked as a temporary employee and/or in the field of business services were reduced. In 2024, this indicator remained stable. However, part of those with unlimited working contracts increased from 5% in November 2023 to 9% a year.
