In the third quarter of 2012 the number of employed people increased by almost 80 000 compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, and simultaneously the employment rate among those aged 15-74 years has reached the level of 51.4 percent which has been the best figure of the past ten years. The increase in employment has been the consequence of the labour market measures of the Government and the optimal organization of public employment schemes. Going forward, the Government adheres to its aim of introducing potent measures in order to sustain these positive tendencies in the field of public employment schemes and by stimulating hiring and investment in the private sector. The Job Protection Action Plan has been one of the instruments for fulfilling this purpose.
