More and more companies in Bulgaria have been experiencing problems finding employees, Capital Daily writes. Nearly 62 percent of a total of 621 companies in this country that took part in a poll conducted by "Manpower Bulgaria" said they experience difficulties finding needed employees. The greatest demand is for skilled workers, engineers and drivers. "One out of tenth refuses work because of low salaries," Standard writes. “Monitor’ points out that shortage of employees is the reason for companies to start hiring older workers. A great number of skilled Bulgarian workers have found jobs abroad while Bulgarian schools do not provide adequate professional education.

"The catastrophe that UN escaped" is a heading in Trud under which it publishes an investigation article by Swiss journalist Yves Kugelman, who says Vice-President of the European Commission and an official candidate of Bulgaria for the position of UN Secretary General - Kristalina Georgieva, was recruited for informant of the former State Security in 1987. The lead headline of the Zemya newspaper is "Links between Kristalina Georgiev and Soros investigated." The French MEP Louis Aliot from the National Front even saw a role of billionaire George Soros in the sudden nomination of Kristalina Georgieva for the UN leadership position, the article reads.

The salaries of 3500 people have been distrained because of unpaid heating bills, "Telegraph" reports. One out of five clients of Toplofikacya has debts towards the heating utility. In order to collect debts of 9 million euros, the company sues 7,000 customers. 

"Without science Bulgaria is becoming a Third World country," reads "Capital Daily." The paper has published a commentary by Georgi Marinov, PhD from California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The lack of adequate operational research infrastructure closely related to universities is turning Bulgaria in a Third World country in which informed rational thinking becomes increasingly rare. And almost everyone with good education want to flee the country as soon as possible.
