Employment has been listed at the top of the package of social measures of the caretaker government, which aim to help the most disadvantaged Bulgarians.

The announcement was made Wednesday by caretaker Prime Minister, Marin Raykov, after the very first sitting of his Cabinet and during his first press conference at the Council of Ministries.

"We conducted an analysis of possible reserves in the budget we inherited. This is a very difficult task. At this stage, there is a hypothetical possibility to find some minimal reserve," he said.

The concrete measures will be announced in a week, but it is already known they will affect the jobless, the disabled children, and the poor with the lowest income.
