Hungarian companies have saved HUF 170 bln thanks to the government’s job protection plan, Hungarian Magyar Nemzet reported today. Businesses get tax rebates if they hire long-term unemployed, youth or staff close to retirement age.

The job protection plan was launched two years ago. As a result, companies have hired an additional 110,000 staff between December 2013 and May 2014, said Zoltán Pankucsi, State secretary at the National Economy Ministry.
