Unemployment is the situation of actively looking for employment but not being currently employed. The unemployment rate is a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in labor force. As of March 2018, the unemployment rate in the Czech Republic was the lowest in the EU at 2.2% (average unemployment rate in the EU is 7.1%). The low unemployment has been caused mainly by government incentives, which include tax breaks for new companies and cash for creating new jobs. These incentives led to foreign investments that were further stimulated by accession to the European Union in 2004. The investments led to creation of a big number of assembly plant jobs and the economical growth of other European countries further boosted the economy. However, the low unemployment rate is frowned upon by employers, since it limits expansion of companies. Economists warn that robots might soon replace a big number of less qualified workers causing rapid growth of unemployment rates.

Hard skills

Hard skills are usually acquired through formal education and training programs. Most qualified jobs require university education. Therefore, it is usually needed to choose a job before applying to one. Education may continue for the whole life, especially in highly qualified areas such as medicine, computer science or science. Change of profession during life generally requires retraining or further education. Hard skills used to be the only skills necessary for career employment and were generally quantifiable and measurable from educational background, work experience or through interview. Nowadays, increasing emphasis is put on soft skills.

Soft skills

Soft skills are a combination of people skills, social skills, communication skills, social intelligence and emotional intelligence. Soft skills are becoming a major differentiator for employability and success in life. A study conducted by Harvard University noted that 80% of achievements in career are determined by soft skills and only 20% by hard skills.
