Jobs in the Prešov Region
The easternmost region with a challenging labor market: construction, seasonal work, and High Tatras tourism; shift work and relocation are open throughout the country.
The Prešov Region is the easternmost and one of the most challenging regions in Slovakia in terms of the labor market: it traditionally has higher unemployment and fewer large employers than the west. Because of this, residents often work in construction and seasonal jobs, go for shift work, or relocate closer to industrial centers. Your job search strategy should be broader than just one city.
At the same time, the region has its niches: construction, High Tatras tourism (Poprad area), agriculture, and local manufacturing. Salaries are lower than in the west, but the cost of living is also lower. People with temporary protection (odídenci) can work throughout the country without a special permit, so shift work or relocation is an option. Conditions for Ukrainians are available at mic.iom.sk.

What niches are actually hiring in the region?+
Most stable are construction (language is secondary), as well as High Tatras tourism in the Poprad area, agriculture, and local manufacturing. For some workers, a practical solution is shift work at factories in the west with accommodation provided.
