Romania is grappling with an acute and deepening labor shortage that is affecting nearly every sector of the economy. According to the National Agency for Employment (ANOFM, 2024), thousands of positions remain unfilled, with 35% of employers reporting critical recruitment challenges. As the demand for labor continues to rise, GlobalWorker offers strategic international recruitment solutions that help Romanian and European companies overcome workforce deficits and maintain operational efficiency.
The Underlying Causes of Romania’s Labor Shortage
📉 Demographic Decline
Romania is among the fastest-aging countries in the European Union, with 27% of the population now over 60 years old. Additionally, over 5.6 million Romanians are working abroad (Eurostat, 2023), significantly reducing the available domestic labor force.
🎓 Skill Gaps and Education Mismatches
A concerning 40% of Romanian graduates do not work in the field of their degree, and just 15% specialize in high-demand fields like construction, IT, or engineering. This mismatch places extra pressure on industries that are already understaffed.
🏗️ Rising Labor Demand in Key Sectors
With an increase in EU-funded infrastructure and renewable energy projects, the need for skilled labor is rapidly growing in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, and green energy.
Economic Impact: Why It Matters
- Loss of Productivity: Businesses face delivery delays and rising operational costs (estimated between 15–20%) due to understaffed teams .
- Wage Inflation: In 2023 alone, wages in construction rose by 22%, as companies competed for a limited talent pool.
- Investment Instability: Critical infrastructure projects, including highways and energy parks, are delayed due to labor shortages.
