According to monitoring data, upcoming mass dismissals of 2,313 employees were announced because of enterprise liquidation or mass staff reduction.

Before that, 197 companies in the region reported transferring part of their employees to part-time employment.

As of June 4, the registered unemployment rate in Chelyabinsk region is 3.07%, with 61,932 unemployed citizens registered in employment centers, including 57,502 people who are officially registered as unemployed.
