Economy Ministry launches campaign promoting local jobs to Romanians returning to the country

17 July 2020

The Economy, Energy, and Business Environment Ministry, through its Tourism Department, has launched a campaign promoting local jobs to Romanians who recently returned to the country or are planning to do so.

The campaign focuses on hospitality industry jobs.

The authorities say the message they want to get across is a simple one – “We are expecting you home!. We have jobs for you, especially in the HoReCa sector,” a press release from the Economy Ministry says. 

“Over the past few years, our country showed it is increasingly interesting to investors. In January, I attended a conference where the main topic was the labor shortage in the hospitality industry. I was saying at the time that we were worried it would become a worse crisis than a potential economic one […] In the meantime, the coronavirus pandemic altered all plans radically. One thing still stands: the labor shortage,” Emil-Răzvan Pîrjol, a state secretary with the Economy Ministry, explains.

The ministry argues that those who returned to the country can find opportunities in the hospitality industry.

“Here, in their country, the Romanians who returned or want to do so can find work and development opportunities. The hospitality industry needs workers. Together we are relaunching the economy, local tourism, rebuilding Romania, and stay close to our dear ones,” the press release reads.

More than 400,000 jobs were lost in Romania from mid-March to the end of May, while 586,462 employment contracts were suspended - 100,069 of them in the HoReCa sector.
