OREANDA-NEWS. August 22, 2012. According to the research by Gallup Poll, this indicator is 4 p.p. lower than in 2009 and 7 p.p. higher than in 2006. Within 2006-20011 about 86% of the population of Moldova were pessimistic on attempts to find jobs in Moldova.

The worst indicator (87%) was displayed by Serbia only. However, in 2011 Greece became a leader among states whose citizens considered 2011 the worst year to find jobs. This opinion was shared by 96% of residents of Greece. Then followed Serbia (91%), Moldova (88%), Egypt (87%), Slovenia (87%), Mongolia (86%) Portugal (84%) Bosnia and Herzegovina (83%), Croatia (82%), and Georgia (79%).

The most optimistic states included Saudi Arabia (69%), the Philippines (63%) Singapore (63%) Kuwait (62%) Chad (54%) and Niger (54%). The global trends shows that in 2011 a number of people with optimistic attitude made 33% against 25% in 2009 and 34% in 2006. The Europeans are more pessimistic as for an opportunity to find a job in EU (20% in 2011, 10% in 2009 an 29% in 2006).

Gallup Poll experts think the negative perception of an opportunity to find a job emerged as early as before 2009, but the crisis of that year made this trend more marked. They stressed that less pessimism signals the recovery of stability in many economies. At the same time, negative attitude of people to vacancies offered in their labor markets may slow down the recovery of the global economy.

The research was carried out in 115 statea among 1 thou of people over 15 in each state. The error is ±3.5%. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, an employment rate in Moldova was 6.7% in 2011, 0.3 p.. higher than in 2009 and 0.7 p.p. lower than in 2006.
