According to the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund, the number of registered unemployed in the country has declined noticeably – at the start of summer, this fell by nearly 6,000 people. The improvement in employment indicators has continued steadily and confirms a positive trend in the labour market.

The decline in unemployment is significant, bearing in mind that the Estonian economy has faced several challenges in recent years, including inflation and rising energy prices. The unemployment fund's statistics show that more and more people have found employment or left the unemployment register for other reasons.

Experts have noted that demand for qualified workforce has increased in several sectors of the labour market. At the same time, ensuring that those unemployed for long periods find an opportunity to return to the labour market remains a challenge.
