Vitebsk Construction Worker's Plea Highlights Belarus Labor Shortage

Vitebsk Construction Worker Seeks Skilled Finishers Amid Labor Shortages Vitebsk, Belarus – A local construction worker, Ruslan Khamyev, is actively seeking qualified finishers for apartment renovation projects. In a short video posted on social media, Khamyev highlights the need for skilled professionals who prioritize quality and precision. He emphasizes his ten years of experience in project management. "I need qualified finishers who can work accurately and without rushing," Khamyev states in the video, which shows him driving through Vitebsk. "If you're ready, let's collaborate. I think we can make it work." Khamyev's plea reflects a broader trend in Belarus, where the construction sector faces challenges with labor shortages.
