Abstract

Undoubtedly, the double (health and economic) crisis generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is felt on the labor market of each state, regardless of the level of development. Among the actors acting on the labor market, those who fully feel the effects of the pandemic are the employers and, implicitly, their employees. The article highlights some of the forms and social dimensions of the impact while emphasizing the relations with the specifics of the economy and the vulnerabilities existing on the market before the outbreak of the crisis.
