There are 16 professions in crucial for the national economy sectors such as machine building, metallurgy, metalworking, power generation and road transport, which are sought after by employers most, but are least attractive to workers. The participants are also discussing a project by the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association aimed at making shortage occupations more attractive.
