The Survey on the demand for labour is conducted by a representative method on a quarterly basis. It covers entities of the national economy and their local units employing at least 1 person, in accordance with the subject matter of the survey. At the end of the second quarter of 2020, the number of employed persons was 2.7% lower than at the end of the first quarter of 2020. The analysis of the number of employed persons indicates that from 2012 to 2018, in the second quarters it was very similar to that in the first quarters – the increase or decrease in the number of employed persons did not exceed 1%. The situation was slightly different in the next two years. In the second quarter of 2019, there was an increase in the number of employed persons of over 2%, and in 2020, a decrease in the number of employed persons of almost 3%.
