| LMV102B - Vacancies by macroregions, development regions, activity of national economy at level of CANE Rev.2 section |
| Definition |
The number of job vacancies includes number of paid, newly created, unoccupied positions, or which are to become vacancies, for which:
1.2005-2008 period:
i. the employer is taking active steps to find a suitable candidate for filing in the respective post (examples of active steps: the announcement of the vacant post through the official services of employment, advertising through newspapers, media, Internet, direct recruitment of the candidates etc);
ii. the employer intends to fill immediately or in the near future (maximum 3 months after the reference period).
2.2009 onwards:
i. the employer is taking active steps to find a suitable candidate for filing in the respective post (examples of active steps: the announcement of the vacant post through the official services of employment, advertising through newspapers, media, Internet, direct recruitment of the candidates etc);
ii.the employer intends to fill either immediately or within a specific period of time, established by the employer. The specific period of time refer to the maximum time the vacancy is open and intended to be filled.
Are considered job vacancies, the posts designated for persons outside the enterprise (but for which persons from inside the enterprise could also compete), irrespective if the posts are for an indefinite or definite duration or are in full-time or part-time working program.
Are not considered job vacancies, the unoccupied posts:
- exclusively designated to the hierarchical promotions inside the enterprise or institution;
- from public administration bodies blocked by a legal act.
The posts occupied by persons who are absent for a certain period of time (maternity leave, leave for child care, sickness leave, unpaid leave, other absences) are considered vacancies, if the employer wants to substitute for a definite period (temporary) and takes active steps in finding the replacing candidates.
The yearly average job vacancies are calculated as simple arithmetic mean of the quarterly data. |

Statistical survey on vacancies details |
| Methodology |
Data on job vacancy rate are obtained from Job vacancy survey, quarterly statistical sample survey, having as reference period, the middle month of the quarter. Statistical survey is carried out on the same sample used for the production of monthly statistics on earning and number of employees (according to the specifications from the FOM105E matrix).
Starting with the first quarter of 2024, the sample includes about 23300 economic and social units.
Business units with 50 and more employees and budgetary sector units (public administration, education, human health and social work activities) are exhaustively comprised into the survey.
Information regarding ''budgetary sector'' should be used carefully, because data refer to statistics from economic activities, according to CANE Rev.2, of public administration, education and human health and social work activities (including private sector of education - about 3.2%, respectively human health and social work activities - about 11.7%).
Armed forces and assimilated staff (Ministry of National Defence, Ministry of Interior, Romanian Intelligence Office etc.) are excluded.
These statistics do not take into account the financing type, their purpose being to provide information by economic activity according to CANE Rev.2.
Information corresponding to the type of financing are administered by the Ministry of Public Finances, according to the stipulations of GEO no. 48/2005, with later completions and modifications.
In relation to the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the infra-annual, statistical data may present a lower degree of reliability, accuracy, completeness and comparability, as a result of the difficulties arising from the application of economic and social measures, determined by the declaration of state emergency/alert throughout Romania. These difficulties were mainly determined by heavy access to the financial and accounting documents, caused frequently by the sudden closure of certain economic and social units, by not completing in due time of the respective documents, by relaxation of legal deadlines for submitting tax documents to the related institutions, by temporarily suspending the activity for a significant number of economic and social units or even by ceasing their activity, in some cases.
Exceptionally, the employees with suspended labour contract/agreement at the employer initiative, without the termination of their employment contract, in case of temporary interruption or reduction of activity, for economic, technological, structural or similar reasons (technical unemployment, unpaid leave), respectively in the case of employees who benefit from days off for the child supervision, in accordance with the legal provisions were included.
The need to include these categories of employees resulted from:
- the exceptional nature of their absence from work (suspension of their employment contract/employment relationship, for a limited period of time);
- the fact that the employer paid them for the reference period (even if the amounts were partially or fully subsided by the state authorities);
- the legal provisions in force, which prohibits the dismissal of these employees, if the unit benefited from subsidies for technical unemployment from the state authorities;
- the impossibility of filling the posts occupied by the above mentioned employees, due to the fact that the employer did not have the possibility to declare these occupied posts as vacancies or to initiate the necessary steps in order to hire other employees.
The data for 2005-2007 were colected in accordance with the National Economic Activities Classification (CANE Rev. 1)
The data for 2008 were estimated according to the new Classification of Activities in the National Economy (CANE Rev.2) harmonised with European classification in the field (NACE Rev.2). Applied estimation method relies on conversion matrix of economic activities defined according to CANE Rev. 1 in economic activities defined according to CANE Rev.2. Building up the conversion matrix relies on data collected according to CANE both versions, by quarterly statistical survey on vacancies, during 2008.
From 2009 onwards the data are colected in accordance with the new Classification of Activities in the National Economy (CANE Rev.2).
Also, the data are colected and disseminated in accordance with the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO - major group level, excluding major group 0 - armed forces).
According to the territorial distribution, data are available by total economy, macro-regions and regions (level 0, 1, and 2 of NUTS).
In order to improve the quality estimates and to increase the overall response rate, estimation methods were applied, by imputing the missing data from the statistical survey with the data reported in administrative sources ("Declaration on payment obligations related to social contributions, the income tax and nominal records of insured persons (D112) owned by National Agency for Fiscal Administration", respectively "General register of employees (REGES)" owned by Labor Inspection). The imputation rate is about 10%. Type of non-response taken into account: refusal, units not identified, units not contacted, dormant or insolvency units at the end of the reference period (that reported data in administrative sources).

| Observations |
The data are available starting 2008.
For the period 2005 - 2008 data CANE Rev.1 are found in the matrix LMV102A.
The data CANE Rev.2 are estimated for 2008.
May be differences, between the quarterly and annual average data related to the number of job vacancies, due to the rounding of the decimal part of annual averages. These differences can also influence the average annual rates, especially in cases where there are a small number of observed cases.
Starting with the reference year 2017, Eurostat no longer requires EU Member States direct transmission of annual data, and disseminates them according to their own calculations based on national quarterly data. As a consequence, there may be some insignificant differences due to the rounding of the decimal part of the annual averages, between the data published at national level and those published by Eurostat.
Starting with the second quarter of 2018, certain economic agents that carries out activities related to manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (NACE Rev.2 Division 29) have broken down computer programming, consultancy and related activities, including information service activities (NACE Rev.2 division 62-63) as secondary economic activities. |
