The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy has published a brief analysis of the labor market as of May 2021, which tracks unemployment levels and trends in individual sectors compared to March 2020 during the first crisis of the COVID pandemic, 19. Information from the Employment Agency shows that the number of unemployed registered with the labor offices in May 2021 decreased on an annual and monthly basis.

The introduced state of emergency and the epidemic situation and the measures taken by the government to limit the spread of the coronavirus in the country have a significant impact on the dynamics of registered unemployment. From the beginning of 2021, the Labor Force Survey conducted by the National Statistical Institute is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/1700, which requires changes in the monitoring methodology, such as the results of the Labor Force Survey for the first quarter of 2021 are not fully comparable with those of previous periods in 2020.
