GENERAL JOB-EXCHANGES IN ROMANIA. A COMPARATIVE SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VACANCY SUPPLY AND DEMAND BEFORE AND DURING THE CURRENT ECONOMIC – FINANCIAL CRISIS by IRENA MOCANU

“…L’offre d’emplois a enregistré une dynamique sinueuse, mais la tendance a été négative, concrétisée par le passage pendant 2008 et 2010, de la classe supérieure (2001–2500 emplois et plus de 2501 emplois) à la classe inférieure, celle de 1001–2000 emplois. Au niveau des départements, les analysesindiquent la constance spécifique pour la demande d’emplois (la classe de plus de 2500 emplois) et le déclin d’offre d’emplois, qui signifie la baisse d’emplois, généralisée dans l’économie pendant la crise économiquefinancière actuelle.…”
