More than 60,000 applications this year!
Moreover, the number of applications by foreign workers will certainly set a new record. In 2021, the Employment Service received 54 000 applications. The numbers will be even higher this year! How big is the expectation? What are the numbers? In reality, around 63 000 new applications. Why do the numbers grow? As a consequence, the numbers grow primarily because Slovenia lacks domestic workers. In fact, unemployment in September was record low. However, the Employment Service says that the entry of foreign workers create structural mismatch on the labor market. For instance, the Service issued 46 264 single permits for residence and work in Slovenia. As a result, it is going to issue around 55 000 permits this year.

The top job is bricklayer (almost 8000 permits), followed by truck and tractor drivers, welders, workers for simple work in high-rise construction and electrical installers.
