Across the street from the theater on Sayat Nova in Gyumri, there are many shops, clothing stores, shoe stores, and coffee shops. They are all searching for cashiers and waiters. As far as what the reason is- is there a lack of a normal workforce in Gyumri, or do they not pay enough money?- Aravot Daily spoke to one of the store owners.
The owner of the Leon store said that they are searching for someone to work in their new grocery store, which is why they made the announcement. According to the employer, there are many people who want to work, but not everyone can work. It is important to be knowledgeable and flexible.
According to the job announcements posted on the State Employment Agency’s page, the jobs in highest demand in Gyumri include janitors, cashiers, and waiters.

Waiters receive between 75,000 and 100,000 AMD and their working hours are either between 10 AM-8 PM or 10 AM-10 PM. Most places are looking for waiters who speak other languages.
Chefs are also in high demand, which is proof of the fact that Gyumri is turning into a city for tourism.
However, this city needs doctors more than it needs chefs, waiters, and cashiers. As sad as it may seem, the issue of finding appropriate professionals to fill the positions of doctors in the regions has remained unsolved. We saw on a list of job openings that there is a demand for a heart surgeon with a salary of 78,000 AMD, a neurosurgeon with a salary of 78,000 AMD, an anesthesiologist with a salary of 85,000 AMD, as well as lab workers, neurologists, gynecologists, and pediatricians.
There is also a high demand for nurses and pharmacists, and their salaries fluctuate between 75,000 and 95,000 AMD.
