State Secretary in the Ministry of Public Administration Goran Jovetic  said that the Analysis showed that the growth of the number of employees in the total public administration slowed down, and that the number of employees at the local level decreased by 3.9% for the first six months (475 employees were less at the local level at the beginning of 2019).

The analysis also showed that, in the trend of overall employment growth, the relative participation of employment in public administration is reduced. Thus, in December 2017, employment in public administration accounted for 28.2% of total employment, while in December 2018 it decreased to 26.8%, that is, 1.4%.
