Luzha says that, at the moment, 259 thousand and 341 people are registered as unemployed in the employment office in ministry; this number shows the rate of unemployment for around 35 to 40 percent.

However, Festina Belidemaj author of the research “the employment barometer” said that this research has shown that employers in Kosovo have a positive point of view regarding movements in labour market.
