Hungary’s most significant labour shortages are found in IT, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive production, logistics, and construction. These sectors rely heavily on skilled professionals, many of whom are in short supply domestically. The technology and automotive industries—key areas of foreign investment—require continuous recruitment due to rapid expansion. Healthcare shortages persist due to ageing populations and migration of workers to other EU countries. Hospitality, retail, and agriculture also face workforce gaps, especially during peak seasons. The shortage across both high-skilled and entry-level roles creates opportunities for foreign workers to fill critical workforce needs.
