[000:00:00;00] we still try to make some kind of joke, although of course it hurts to look at kherson and there are always news in the summer, which are sad, because they are trying to spoil us as much as possible, these terrible people from moscow, here. well, the latest information from british intelligence reports that the british have lost the wagnerians killed and at least 20,000 people were wounded under the ukrainian bakhmut; for every km traveled , there are more than 800 killed or wounded russian servicemen, and since may 22, battles for bakhmut russian the group and the regular army and the wagner pvc lost from 20 to 30 thousand people killed and wounded, the senior military adviser of the british delegation to the osce said that janz stops in vienna, this is a large loss of life during

the advance of about 25 km, he said. well , let's talk about the military situation in in our next studios it's 8:00 and news of the economy with andriy yanitsky whom we will see now mr. andriyovych please tell us about life in the world of money and big business please have you already seen e-e good morning colleagues today we will talk about the labor market and we will try to combine the views of a representative of a resume posting company and a classic academic economist. let's see if she sees the situation the same.

programs will be the labor market . but before that, i would like to tell you about a small business that opened in vinnytsia . the main purpose of its creation is to find new owners, new loving families for cats, let's see in the plot purring , meowing and shamelessly climbing on the table in this vinnytsia cafe for the owners of cats. they walk freely among people and are not afraid of them at all, although all four-legged cats are taken from the street and they know what human indifference is. this cappuccino girl is about a year old. the story is quite interesting. we were going to a woman who volunteers . we wanted to root her dogs and cats. she

got out of the car and here is this cat. meows and climbs into our hands. we asked this woman if this is her cat or if she knows the owners. she says no, uh , this cat has been here for about a week. here she just prepared it . we decided to take her cat cafe in vinnytsia. it was opened by 23-year-old elizaveta rudych. it is the first business project for a girl and the only establishment in this format . institutions give cats a chance to normal life they vaccinate, sterilize and, if necessary, treat, and then look for a family for each tailed cat. for this, the workers have developed the following algorithm of actions , first of all, live communication. they have to

show us that they have a carrier, food, bowls. well , everything is needed for the normal functioning of the cat. we also warn that it is necessary to vaccinate, it is necessary to sterilize, we make a contract where all the points are written down and that we have the right to contact people and ask about any animals there, what are the conditions, in which case we even we can file a lawsuit well, if something is wrong in the institution, there are 12 cats of different ages, each animal has a collar on its neck with a pinched address book, visitors to the cafe, friends ivanka and viktoria, say they live nearby and love animals, they cannot afford to take a four-legged friend , so they come to the cafe to get a dose of anti-stress i like a cat, i didn't have many, well, not as many

cats used to have cats, now they have changed their place of residence, so there are none. i really need a place. i can visit the cafe more than once. entrance to the cafe is allowed from the age of 13 and costs uah 50 per visitor. these funds go to the maintenance of four-legged friends. the owner plans to develop souvenir products and hold a series of lectures in order to stay. but as i understand it, the flow of customers vinnytsia is still not enough to provide food for four-legged friends, so we had to introduce a paid entrance, now we will talk, as i promised, about the labor market in ukraine, we will talk at the same time with the representative of the work.ua company maxim

pylypenko, who represents, let's say, business, and with ihor buryakovsky, the head of the institute of economic research and political consultation, who represents academic economists , papa, congratulations, good morning, let's try to experiment a little in this unusual format and see if the view of the labor market is the same, let's say from the middle from those who work with vacancies every day and from those who look at macro-economic statistics , what is the current state of the labor market, do you feel a revival, maxim, let's let's get you started. let me tell you the background that existed before the full -scale invasion on the work.ua website. at the time of the invasion in march, the number of vacancies fell dramatically by 15 times to six thousand and then gradually recovered month by month, and the record was set in october, when there were more than 50,000 vacancies, then

rocket attacks and power outages stopped this growth a little, and the growth started right from the first days of january. we received more than 60,000 in january, but in february more than 66 and in march it continues to grow, that is, the trend that we see in terms of the number of jobs in ukraine, it is growing positively , but another one came out to 100,000, which were until february 24. as i understand it, it still hasn’t come out yet , mr. igor. and what does this say about this e the account of the official statistician, i know that there are two types of statistical information, there are statistics on registered unemployment, and there are statistics on the so-called mytho-methodology of the international labor organization. yes, they are slightly different. can you explain to me? m what are these indicators different, and secondly, what was the dynamics of last year and

what is happening now? if we talk about the international labor organization, then the methodology is very simple : people between the ages of 15 and 70 fall into unemployment, people who have found a job, people who have been looking for a job for at least four months well, this is the basic approach. well, as for specific statistics, it is clear that some other factors related to the specifics of, for example, the same country can be taken into account. concerns the situation in the ukrainian economy. in general, indeed. everything is determined by the war. everything is determined by the loss of a part of the economic activity. well, if we look at different estimates. unfortunately, there is no single estimate in ukraine today, they fluctuate. in principle , we can say that in 2022 unemployment was approximately 25-26%, that is, those who could actually be allowed to work. well, they talked about the fact that approximately

3.2 million people were people who were in the unemployment status, this is the statistics of the national bank of ukraine, on the other hand according to the estimates of the ministry of economy, unemployment was a little higher. and it was believed that the work here was just transitioning to what my previous colleague , mr. maksym, said in his previous words . they believed that in 2022 well, let's say that as of the beginning of 2023, approximately 2 million ukrainians were looking for work. that is, these are people who are actively looking for work within the country and approximately 2.7 million. according to various estimates, these were people who were ready to return and ready to work in ukraine, well, those who left in connection with the russian aggression this is the situation, that is, in principle, we can talk about the fact that today in ukraine there are somewhere around three , three and a half million unemployed people in general, but

the dynamics are observed before the number of unemployed decreases, well, the dynamics is very similar today. i would say, you know, it is uncertain why. therefore that traditional methods of assessment and so on today in statistics are very difficult and complicated by the migration processes of many and with such other things, but in general if you look, let's say, not only at unemployment, but look for example according to surveys conducted by the institute of economic research and political consultation, that is why today we are observing a certain economic recovery , it is very small, because we have a very low statistical base, we actually lost 30 or so percent of the domestic product , that is, there is a certain demand for labor, but it is clear that so far it is very, very difficult to talk about full-fledged recovery processes . maxim, we will get back to you. and what is happening with salaries, do you have any indicators of

average salaries offered by employers today uh, did they differ during the year, did they change in some way? can we hope that ukrainians will not only live according to the european standard, but also receive a european level of remuneration for their work ? we follow the indicator of the average salary in ukraine. at the level of uah 15,000 and did not change. and what is due according to the data of your company, according to the resume data is correct, more precisely, according to the data indicated in the vacancies of employers so that we do not confuse the sources of information yes yes employers indicate vacancies as salary, and the average median salary was uah 15,000 this year in february. we noticed an increase of uah 1,000, and currently the average salary is uah 16,000. if we talk about areas where there was a noticeable increase

, then i would note transport, logistics, in particular, the driver of an international the salary from the beginning of the 22nd year to the 23rd increased from 22,000 hryvnias to 4 over 40 thousand hryvnias and agriculture, uh, there the average salary increased from 1:00 p.m. to 20,000 hryvnias at the beginning of the 23rd year, well, this is some kind of seasonality for rural people economy. as far as i understand, that is, the salary is not kept there all year at the same level. are there seasonal fluctuations there? they did not observe this . well, what do we observe in terms of the seasonality of the number of vacancies ? it is related to the fact that agriculture is starting to prepare for the season in terms of salaries, so here we can focus on the level of the average salary in

ukraine, and if it is increasing, what we have been seeing lately is mr. ihora not saying anything on this account, the official statistics of the state statistics, uh, they also record salary levels, uh, it changes, it doesn't change , for the better, for the worse, 15,000 is there an average, or even 16, as maxim says, well, right away, i would like to say that there are simply different ways of calculating wages salary is the average salary, but conventionally speaking, we added up our four salaries , divided them by four and got the average salary for you. maxim is talking about the median salary, the median salary is when we have, conventionally speaking, 100 hryvnias 120 hryvnias and 140 hryvnias, that's right, the salary in this interval is 120 hryvnias - this is the median salary . well, we can

talk further. we will take the latter, the calculations are official, the average salary in ukraine in january was uah 14,577 , that is, approximately the same 15,000 . a certain small dynamics of wage increases well, once again, if we return to official institutions, we are talking about the national bank, we are talking about the ministry of economy , we are talking about the assessment of experts who are directly related to the government. it is expected that the average salary in 2023 will increase , maybe not as quickly as we would like, but it will amount to approximately uah 18,260. that is, it will grow by approximately three thousand uah to 3,000 in 2023. well, in percentage terms , this is a significant increase. it is predicted that it will be 3,000

uah by itself doesn't seem like much, but 3,000 uah compared to 15 is already significant . now i won't quickly count the percentages , how much for 20 e-e growth. that is, you know when we talk about some kind of increase in interest rates. i don't really like such indicators because if, let's say, i earned 100 uah, and then ten cheated, i earned 200 uah. yes, my salary increased twice immediately . the question is about percentages. the question is that the arbitrary salary is the result of supply and demand in the market. which there are practically blind people who are looking for work and those who are looking for those people who are directly looking for work will say that this indicator depends on many things , on the one hand, the ability of the business to pay wages accordingly, on the other hand, it is a direct request from people for wages , well in the middle is what we talk about all the time, prices and those economic problems that we directly face. maxim, what do your data say about

the possible regional distribution and what features are possible that are very interesting in in certain industries, you said about carriers, you said about agriculture, but for example, last year the it sector showed growth. i think that it is one of the few , or even the only one, the only branch of the ukrainian economy that showed growth during the full-scale invasion. maybe there is also something traditional. i know that the pharmaceutical company was paid well tell me where to go where to look for a job good yes we recently conducted a study and looked at how the labor market recovered depending on the region of ukraine compared to the pre-war level and saw that the closer to the west, the greater the number of vacancies in the region, and in particular, in western ukraine, the zakarpattia region

, the recovery there is 150% of the pre-war level , the ivano-frankivsk region of lviv is more than 100%. in the center we have somewhere at the level of 70% , and in the south at the level of 50 and the east up to 20%, what does this mean? the labor market was recovering. well, not proportionally in ukraine, to say the least about the areas in which the share of vacancies is currently growing the most. there, by category, i would include logistics, warehouse, medicine, pharmaceuticals, construction, architecture , security, and in these areas, the largest number of vacancies was added precisely in february, mr. igor, can you explain uh, uh, uh, here is this one regional distribution maksym says that

in uzhgorod there is a 150% increase, that is, in fact , uzhgorod has simply shown economic growth. more than other regions, at least in the field of the labor market, and in the center , the final recovery has not happened, although it seems that already in the center is safe eh, are these some psychological factors , or is it just difficult for people who have already gone to the west of the country to return to their homes eh, do you observe something like this in state statistics? maybe you can eh report something from your own experience. consider this a separate topic such a big not easy conversation why because, in principle, the dynamics of people's migration is affected by a large number of wrongdoers, it is a matter of security, it is a matter of moving businesses, let's not forget that certain businesses were implemented in number with the help of the state, and there they presented a certain demand on the labor market, this is a large number of internally displaced persons

, and the structure of these internally displaced persons , for example, in some regions. they were looking for work so much although they were also looking for work as much as they needed the extension of social benefits in accordance with ukrainian legislation, so i think that the situation is very colorful and now it is very difficult to talk about some such but how would it be better to say it, you know, in attitude, i would just like to say that if we look at the statistics again, to a certain extent , to a certain extent, we see a situation that, well, is a little bit similar to what it would have been like before a full-scale, full-scale invasion if we look at the level of wages by region, then again, according to the latest data , approximately 21,300 or so hryvnias is the average wage in the city of kyiv, and in general , it was traditionally many places at the same time

let's say in the kyiv region, the average salary is 15,000 hryvnias. again , i'm talking about the data for the month of january. well, this is obviously related to the different levels of economic activity there, the registration of the relevant enterprises, they are also obviously determined by the factors that were determined the occupation of parts of the kyiv region by war. well, in this case, the destruction of its economic potential . if we talk about e-e regions, outsiders are somewhere around 11,300. this is the salary that was fixed was fixed in chernivtsi oblast i want to say once again i'm talking about the average salary well, go on, every oblast, every uh, every region of the country has its own features , we have the opportunity to answer literally one more question, and it seems to me that it would be appropriate to give a forecast of what will happen, we heard a forecast of salaries

that they will grow . this is a forecast of the national bank of ukraine, and with regard to actual unemployment and the number of vacancies. er, will there be an influx of people who want to find a job or an influx of offers? perhaps you already feel from conversations with your clients what the current trends are. well, looking at the statistics on what is happening on our website, we see a positive trend both in terms of the number of vacancies and wages however, as already mentioned, a lot depends on the military situation in the country. we also communicate with employers, and employers are already voicing the possible lack of qualified

personnel due to the departure abroad of a large in the number of qualified personnel, about a million ukrainians protect our country, so it will be a challenge, and as mr. ihor has already noted in the labor market, demand and supply determine uh, in particular, and the level of wages, so uh, well, we will observe the situation, since it is, well, atypical as we understand, we will look. thank you, mr. igor, regarding qualified personnel. will we be able to return them from abroad so that people work again for the ukrainian economy and not for the economy of other countries? well, as far as i know according to various surveys, a large part of ukrainian migrants plan to return to ukraine, and this is understandable, because those labor markets are also not rubbery, you know, and any number of people can adapt, that is, there are problems from the other side. of course, everything will depend on the fact that will take place directly in the economy of ukraine. of course, this depends on the scale of military operations, but here i would

just like to make two very short caveats . the first caveat is that people will obviously return to those businesses that survived. i.e. people went to war, people left somewhere low there, but business can be quickly restored, it is possible to work, so the situation will be more difficult in those businesses and in those industries that are currently destroyed, we are talking about large enterprises with all the corresponding consequences. and the last thing i would like to say that precisely the problem with qualified labor is a problem not only today. if we return to entrepreneurs again, it is precisely the problems with finding qualified labor that have traditionally been included either in the top three or in the top five of the biggest problems for business development, which we recorded in our surveys under normal conditions. thank you, ihor burakovskyi, head of the institute of economic research and political consultations, and maksym pilypenko, pr director of the work.ua company, were with us, where you can find a job or find yourself qualified, including footage i'm

are in 12th place , what is this, where is cultural diplomacy? russian , that is, our dumplings only in the polish version are in the fourth place, and our dumplings of the ukrainian variation are in the 12th place. different no. and what about the fact that raw meat is put in dumplings, dumplings are already cooked meat, and that means dumplings. well, i work much more in them than in dumplings , because there is already a higher added value. well, if there is another topic of galician ears, you know, yes, no, it has been alive for a year , i know that it is from my student years. these are probably dumplings, too. no, they are exactly in the shape of such dumplings, you know, that is, they are twisted

with their tails and they are grafted. so , i don’t know what else there is, for some reason there is no list what's going on is already our next guest, yes, dmytro zabavin, a deputy of the mariupol city council, dmytro, good day, good morning . i'm sorry that we're having fun here about dumplings . it's light since the very morning. huge queues in mariupol for porridge, some kind of soldier's porridge was given out for free , whole people in queues were searched, we understand that not everywhere is good, like me, what is the current situation in the humanitarian operational city of mariupol well, i can say

that, unfortunately, all of us, the people of impol, survived the whole winter, and what happened in mariupol there in the winter is a continuation of the genocide of the concentration camp that the russian federation arranged in our city, that is, part of the people simply died from the fact that they simply had no heat in the broken russian homes, and that's why people just fell asleep and didn't wake up when the temperature was below zero, and there are a lot of facts from these facts, and the second thing you said is true . yes, mariupol people line up in line for
