Over 67,000 people were employed in temporary jobs last year, double compared to 2010, when the number of temporary employees amounted to 30,000, according to a study of the Romanian Association of Temporary Work Agents (ARAMT).

“There is still place for a sustained growth of the temporary employment market, its penetration rate in Romania (0.2%) is still below the EU average of 1.8%," said Cristina Savu, ARAMT president.

The temporary labor was most prevalent in manufacturing (58%) and services (27%), the ARAMT study shows.

Women represented 43% of the total temporary employees last year, compared to 51% in 2010. Over 53% of the temporary employees have a Bachelor degree, compared to only 23% in 2010.
