- 12 Jun 2015 9:00 AM
Approximately 65,000 foreigners work in Hungary, and they “take” slightly more than 1.5% of jobs, according to National Labour Office data. These include about 50,000 EU citizens working here, who do not require job permits. Of those, 34,000 have come from Romania, 9,000 from Slovakia, 1,500 from each of Poland and Germany, 900 from Great Britain, 650 from France, 550 from Italy and 350 from the Czech Republic. The number of Danes, Finns, Estonians and Latvians was below 50.
In contrast, more than 500,000 Hungarians are working in Great Britain, Germany and Austria.
Only 14,000 citizens of non-EU countries had job permits in late 2014, down from 19,000 one year earlier. The cause of the drop is not known.
