By using our guide to inform your average salary, you’ll understand what jobs are worth across the country, helping your organisation stand out from the crowd when hiring, or when looking for a new position

To further inform you, we conducted a survey of 818 professionals in Hungary on salaries, benefits, and finances.

The Hungarian jobs market shows signs of growth in 2024

“This year, the job market in Hungary is expected to grow at a steady pace, although we will likely see a candidate shortage, as professionals leave the country for better opportunities. Over the last year, the inflation rate reached 17.6% and food prices increased but we’re already seeing signs of this stabilising and inflation has lowered significantly.”
