Labor groups, students and trade unions, families. After a small official part of the festivities were transported to the capital's Victory Park.
Irina Kostevich, Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Belarus: “The level of employment at working age grows from year to year, and today it is 83%. On May 1, a decision was taken to raise salaries in the public sector. All this suggests that a truly stable labor market is developing today."
