In late 2024 and early 2025, vacancies began to decline, most likely due to the ongoing political processes in the country. This is stated in the Labor Market Review of the Policy and Management Consulting Group (PMCG).
In the first quarter of 2025, 17,900 vacancies were published on jobs.ge, which is a 16% decrease year-on-year.
"To complement the analysis of the labor market, it is also essential to examine labor demand, as reflected in the number of job vacancies posted on Georgia’s largest job-posting platform, jobs.ge. The number of vacancies increased significantly in 2019, followed by a sharp decline in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The market rebounded quickly in 2021, and from 2022 onward, growth in vacancies remained positive, though gradually stabilized. However, in late 2024 and early 2025, vacancies began to decline, likely driven by political developments in Georgia.
Additionally, a seasonal pattern is evident, with vacancy numbers typically peaking in Q2 and Q3 of each year and declining in Q1 and Q4.
In 2024, the highest number of vacancies were recorded in Sales and Procurement (20%), Administration and Management (19%), and Finance and Statistics (15%)", - the document reads.
