The study carried out by the OLX platform reveals that the job search in 2019 increased by 50% compared to the previous year.

Catering, hospitality and tourism were the areas where demand increased the most, followed by domestic cleaning and cleaning and finally construction. Lisbon, Porto and Setúbal are the regions of the country that dominate both in terms of demand and supply in this category throughout this year.

“The positive context that Portugal currently lives in terms of employability is reflected, of course, in the figures published in this study. The unemployment rate is the lowest in many years, and due to the growing importance we have in people's lives, OLX becomes an obvious partner to find countless solutions at this level."
