While unemployment in Bulgaria fell to record low levels in 2008, the employment rate remains low compared to most of the EU nations and well below the bloc's target rate of 70% by 2010.
Iako je nezaposlenost u Bugarskoj opala na rekordno nisku razinu u 2008. godini, stopa zaposlenosti ostaje niska u usporedbi s većinom zemalja EU i daleko ispod ciljnog postotka Unije od 70 posto do 2010. godine.
