Description
Baltija Logi, the construction company, will hire 100 employees (bricklayers, carpenters and other construction workers) as a result of increased business activity. The construction sector has developed very fast in Latvia during the last three years and such growth in employment is not surprising. As a matter of fact, there is a labour shortage and a number of construction companies are having difficulties hiring employees.
