The Hungarian jobs market shows signs of growth in 2024
“This year, the job market in Hungary is expected to grow at a steady pace, although we will likely see a candidate shortage, as professionals leave the country for better opportunities. Over the last year, the inflation rate reached 17.6% and food prices increased but we’re already seeing signs of this stabilising and inflation has lowered significantly.”
