Nearly 20% admitted to experiencing some degree of stability but without confidence it will last.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the survey also highlighted how fragile financial resilience is for many households. Just 16% of respondents said they could sustain themselves for more than six months without work. By contrast, 24% said they could manage for only one to three months, while 33% reported having no savings at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis lack of a safety net exposes a large part of the population to major risks in the event of unexpected unemployment or an economic crisis,\u201d OLX Locuri de Munc\u0103 representatives said.<\/p>\n<p>This vulnerability is compounded by concerns over re-employment. Despite the growth of online recruitment platforms, only 16% of respondents believed they could easily secure a new job. Nearly a third (33%) said it would be difficult due to limited opportunities in their sector, while 25% estimated that finding a new position would take several months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results of this survey show a worrying reality: Romanians live with a constant sense of professional insecurity, amplified by the lack of financial buffers,\u201d said Andreea Oancea, Senior Marketing Manager at OLX Romania.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about international mobility, most respondents said they would prefer to remain in Romania. Fifty-five percent would look for a new job locally, while 22% said they might consider leaving the country if they could not find suitable employment. Another 22.5% indicated they would be willing to emigrate immediately.<\/p>\n<p>irina.marica@romania-insider.com<\/p>\n<p>(Photo source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\">K<\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\">iattisak\/Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romanians remain worried about job security amid economic uncertainty, with many lacking financial safety nets and expressing doubts about their chances of quickly finding new employment, according to a new survey conducted by OLX Locuri de Munc\u0103.\u00a0 Only one in three respondents said they consider their current job secure in the long term, while 29% [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6394\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
