Telecommuting jobs account for 4.5-5pc of all jobs in Hungary, a proportion just one-third of the European Union average, state secretary at the Ministry of Social and Labour Affairs Gabor Simon said on Thursday.
About HUF 3bn in funding has gone to support the creation of 5,720 telecommuting jobs over the last eight years, Mr Simon said. The 2010 budget earmarks HUF 500m to support telecommuting, he added.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
