Increase in the number of job vacancies in Belgium in the 1st quarter 2021
Statbel, the Belgian statistical office, publishes today the number of job vacancies in Belgian enterprises. The figures in this press release reflect the situation in the 1st quarter 2021 and so take into account the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the number of job vacancies during this period (see note below). The job vacancy rate – the number of job vacancies compared to the total number of jobs in the enterprise – increases primarily in the sectors ‘Accommodation and food service activities’, ‘Scientific activities and administrative services’ and ‘Construction’. The job vacancy rate for temporary positions remains significantly higher than that of permanent positions.
