In particular:

Most of those who are currently working are among residents of the western and central regions (about 60%). In the south, there are 52% of those who work, in the east — about 40%. Gradual recovery of employment is recorded in the center, in the south, and in the east. In the west of the country, the situation has stabilized since the beginning of April.

At the same time, 39% of those who had a job before the war are still unemployed (in March it was 53%, in early April — 41%).
