Hungary Labor Turnover
Before 1968 the labor force was generally tied to the
workplace. The government restricted job changes and
prohibited
moving to a new city without permission. In the 1980s,
however,
the annual labor turnover rate averaged about 23 percent,
or
about 1 million job changes each year, mostly in
low-paying,
seasonal, and unskilled positions. Although the government
had
lifted legal restrictions, relocation to another city was
unusual
because Hungary had a housing shortage.
