Figures of unemployment in WGR ▰ WGR does not draw the
interest of EU citizens to seek for job in the region
▰ Attica, Crete and Southern
Aegean are more attractive to EU citizens
▰ People coming from third
countries should be smoothly integrated in the labour market

Employed- Dynamism Analysis (2018-2019) ▰ Urban areas of WGR present (very) strong
dynamism in employment
▰ Rural or mountainous municipalities present
(very) low dynamism in creating new jobs > negative balance
▰ Choosing the desirable factors, researchers
and professionals can see the job creation tendency in terms of economy sectors, profession and municipality

Employed- Dynamism Analysis (2018-2019)
For men in WGR, the most dynamic sectors are: food service, retail and transport. New job positions are offered for: sales assistants, track drivers and elementary workers in manufacturing Are you over 45 years old and of low skill level? Job positions are more likely to be available as: cleaning staff, elementary worker of delivery staff Are you of high skill level, interested in part-time job? A position may be found as teaching staff, architect/engineers/ICT, artist or health worker
Annual Reports by the Mechanism for Diagnosis of Labour Market needs can answer a series of questions such as:
13
Employed- Dynamism Analysis (2018-2019)
What is the number and variation of employed per sector/region/year/educational level? What is the number of the unemployed based on their previous occupation and educational level? What are the most dynamic professions and economic sectors? How many new job positions were created in every region, based on profession, sector, municipality, gender and age? What are the skills/competences required for the job I desire? What jobs can I take based on the competences/skills I already have?
▰ For instance, I have seen
that one of the most dynamic professions in WGR is an assistant for customer services/support. What are the skills I need to have?
14
Employed- Dynamism Analysis (2018-2019)
Problem solving Analysis of Customer Satisfactions Handling offers/ distribution of products
Data processing Communication with clients Foreign languages e-commerce
What we need on regional level? (personal view ) We need to develop synergies between regional authorities and co-design strategies/policies after investigating the social aspects and impact of (un)employment facts, for example:
15
Job satisfaction Feeling of protection of civil rights Fair treatment in work environments Skills gap and ways to narrow it Sense of well- being, deriving from work Sense of security/ freedom of choices Respect of minorities or vulnerable groups Obstacles for access to work
