The Israeli economy added 6,942 vacant jobs in June, raising the total to 145,666 — the first time above the level recorded before Operation Roaring Lion, according to N12 correspondent Lior Bakalo. The vacancy rate rose to 4.41% from 4.23% in May, with the sharpest increase in the hospitality and food sectors, which were hardest hit by the war.
The Israeli economy added 6,942 vacant jobs in June, bringing the total to 145,666 — the first time above the level recorded before Operation Roaring Lion, N12 correspondent Lior Bakalo reported Wednesday. The vacancy rate rose to 4.41% from 4.23% in May.
The sharpest increase was in the hospitality and food sectors, which were hardest hit by the war. The data suggests a recovery in consumer-facing industries as the economy adjusts to post-war conditions.
Earlier N12 reports, as covered by The Zioneer, showed a decline in hi-tech salaried workers in May, with the sector losing 15,000 jobs. The June figures, while positive, are based on a single monthly report and should be seen as part of a broader trend that is still unfolding.
