"The construction sector was the most affected last year, andfollowed the same trend as in 2010. In the energy sector, thevolume of employees has fallen significantly, but the percentage isnot the highest, because this sector has always had a large numberof employees. There was a rebound in the industry sector, as of thesecond half of 2009, with many companies resorting to temporarywork agencies in order to get the necessary flexibility," saysFlorin Godean, national sales manager within recruitment firmAdecco Romania, one of the biggest players on the market, with 19.5million euros in turnover last year.
