Trnava is often called the Slovak automotive city: the Stellantis plant (formerly PSA) operates here, and nearby are electronics manufacturers and the food industry. This concentration of industry creates a stable demand for production operators, assemblers, and warehouse workers, with many roles available without experience and without Slovak language skills.

An additional advantage of Trnava is its proximity to Bratislava: the city is only half an hour's drive from the capital, so some residents work in the capital's agglomeration, and others, conversely, come to Trnava plants from the surrounding areas. Production salaries are competitive, and in addition to the minimum wage (915 € gross), guaranteed shift bonuses apply — norms are confirmed by employment.gov.sk.
