“One in three Ukrainians of working age who have come to our country has already found a job. Ukrainians in employment have already paid over 3 million euros in taxes to our country. I thank the employers who employ Ukrainians and encourage them to continue registering job vacancies with the Employment Service.”
The vast majority of Ukrainians work in medium-skilled jobs, while one in ten work in high-skilled jobs. Most employers hire Ukrainians on a permanent basis. Wages range from the minimum (600 euros) to almost 2 thousand euros. On average, a Ukrainian worker earns about 900 euros in Lithuania.
