The data are particularly striking in light of the fact that the number of job vacancies has been breaking the record in recent months since the survey began in 2009. It rose 5% from 122,000 in May to 128,000 in June. Experts also estimate that the CBS does not reach all vacancies and in practice the number of vacancies is greater.
