If I remember well, this is not the first time I write about the workforce in Romania. In fact, yes, here is my previous post about Worforce in Romania. The reason I’m writing again now is a Manpower survey that really shows how the situation is over here.
On one hand we have several big companies moving here for the cheaper workforce (probably the most known is Renault making the Logan here) and more recently Nokia moving from Germany. As I said in my previous post, you can still get unskilled cheap labour force here.
On the other hand I have my own experiences trying to hire, and the Manpower results that says: “Romania faces biggest labour shortage in the world“. “Engineers’ salaries reached as much as over 1,000 euros a month over the last few years, and in certain fields, such as IT&C they may go up to as much as 2,500 euros. In terms of top management, a CEO of a multinational makes at least 10,000 euros per month.”.
So what can I say? Labour is cheap but you can’t find it. Which is kind of a paradox. I wonder what exactly I’m missing from this picture.
