Muscovites to get employment information electronically

MOSCOW, July 21 (Itar-Tass) - The Moscow employment department will
provide Muscovites with information on vacancies in electronic form as of
August 1, 2011, the agency's head, Oleg Neterebsky, told journalists.
He believes that this new form of work will cut the time for
selecting the right vacancy and will make job searching more convenient
for the Muscovites. The Moscow Department of Employment will provide
e-services to Muscovites who search employment and to employers who want
to hire employees.
Neterebsky said that a federal program designed to decrease tensions
in the labor market had been under way in Moscow for the third year
running. This year it covers employees of enterprises that undergo
reorganization and modernization. More than 172 million rubles have been
allocated for training employees who face dismissal and assisting invalids
and parents with many children to find an employment. The city authorities
will also help law enforcers who have failed to reconfirm their posts to
find a new job.
Neterebsky described the situation in Moscow's labor market as
stable. The number of unemployed in the end of June accounted for 45,800
people or about 0.74 percent of Moscow's economically active population.
In the meantime, Moscow's database on vacancies has 145,000 job offers.
The Moscow Employment Service has helped more than 126,000 people to
find employment since the beginning of the year.
