Mistrík withdrew from the presidential race, Čaputová is now the favorite

Robert Mistrík withdrew from the presidential race and gave his full backing to Zuzana Čaputová. Mistrík had been leading in the polls, but in recent week Čaputová has overtaken him. Čaputová now has the backing of the strongest opposition party, SaS, which previously supported Mistrík, saying Čaputová was unelectable because she is a divorced liberal woman. Čaputová is also backed by outgoing President Andrej Kiska and opposition parties OĽaNO, PS, and Spolu. Čaputová has th

Mistrík odstúpil, favoritom sa stala Čaputová

Robert Mistrík odstúpil z prezidentských volieb a vyjadril podporu Zuzane Čaputovej. Mistrík bol dlho najpopulárnejším prezidentským kandidátom, tento týždeň ho ale Čaputová v prieskumoch predbehla. Čaputová má aj podporu najsilnejšej opozičnej strany SaS, ktorá doteraz podporovala Mistríka a spochybňovala jej šance tým, že ide o rozvedenú liberálnu ženu. Podporu Čaputovej vyslovil aj odchádzajúci prezident Andrej Kiska a opozičné strany OĽaNO, PS a Spolu. Čaputová je favorit

About 30-50% of car dealerships will go out of business by 2025

About 30-50% of car dealerships will go out of business by 2025 as car makers will increasingly sell cars directly. Car dealers will only service the cars and be used by customers to pick up their new cars, according to a survey by KPMG among a thousand top managers in the automotive sector. Volvo is already considering doing away with car dealers in Czechia. Clients now chose their cars via internet and often buy a car after just one visit to a showroom. Fifteen years ago, t

Slovakia is still a net exporter of workers

Foreigners account for 8.2% of all employees in the EU on average. This share is the highest in Western Europe and much lower in Central and Eastern Europe. In Switzerland, foreigners account for a quarter of the local workforce, while in Slovakia the share is just 2.6%. Slovakia is still a net exporter of workers, as some estimates put the number of Slovaks working abroad at 10% of the productive age population (350,000 people). While the number of Slovaks working abroad has

Slovensko je čistým exportérom pracovníkov

Zahraniční pracovníci tvoria 8,2% všetkých zamestnaných v EÚ. Tento podiel je pritom oveľa vyšší v západnej ako v strednej a východnej Európe. Vo Švajčiarsku majú štvrtinový podiel na zamestnanosti, kým na Slovensku iba 2,6%. Slovensko je stále čistým vývozcom pracovnej sily, keď v zahraničí pracuje podľa odhadov až 10% populácie v produktívnom veku (350.000 Slovákov). Kým počet Slovákov pracujúcich v zahraničí už začala klesať, počet pracujúcich cudzincov na Slovensku sa vla

Do roku 2025 skončí 30-50% dílerov áut

Do roku 2025 skončí 30-50% dílerov áut, keďže automobilky budú čoraz viac ponúkať autá priamo. Díleri budú slúžiť iba na servis a vydanie auta zákazníkom, ukázal prieskum KPMG medzi tisíckou vrcholových manažérov automobiliek. V Česku už zrušenie predaja cez dílerov zvažuje automobilka Volvo. Zákazníci už v súčasnosti vyberajú auto cez internet a často auto kúpia po jedinej návšteve dílera. Pred 15 rokmi bolo v priemere návštev dílera 8-10. (ihned.cz)
