Czech job vacancies soared above 100,000 in August for the first time since 2008, as many companies struggle to find enough qualified staff in a bustling economy with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe.
The export-heavy economy grew by 4.4% year-on-year in the second quarter, the fastest rate in the European Union, thanks to rising orders and strong household demand, along with an inflow of EU development subsidies.
