Companies in Hungary and other Eastern European countries such as Samsung, have begun looking internationally for new workers. A number of European Union countries are currently suffering labor shortages resulting years of emigration to Western Europe. Over the summer, Hungarian unemployment rates fell to only 4.9 percent. Samsung, having just invested $465 million into a new factory located in Hungary, has already hired at least 120 Ukrainian employees. Samsung has since refused to comment on its current plans to hire more workers.
