The study identified the main problems faced by a significant part of able-bodied citizens in new market conditions of management, which are constantly changing: the reduction of production and the closure of many firms due to the coronavirus pandemic, the disappearance of some professions and the emergence of others, the increase in requirements for the competitiveness of the labor force in the global labor market. In the context of structural and technological restructuring of the economy, labor is released, the production of low-skilled workers and carriers of outdated professions is forced out of the production process, and the requirements for the quality of the labor force increase. Many workers may lose their jobs because they will be replaced by jobs.

Human resource management should be aimed at increasing the level of employment, quality and competitiveness of the workforce in the global labor market.
