34% of all employed Bulgarians work in Sofia
For the sixth year in a row, the Institute for Market Economics (IME) has published data and analysis of Bulgaria's economic development by municipality. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, Sofia employs more than 34% of all employed citizens in Bulgaria.
The capital, where salaries are assumed to be the highest, ranks 3rd on this indicator with 2,855 levs. The top positions are taken mainly by small municipalities, in which large companies operate, forming a significant part of labor income in the region.
Longest railway tunnel's pipes require reinforcement
The longest railway tunnel in Bulgaria, which is still under construction, will be additionally reinforced, as its pipes are already becoming yielding, announced the Minister of Transport Grozdan Karadjov, who visited the facility to inspect the problems. The tunnel is located near Vakarel and is part of the Elin Pelin - Kostenets high-speed route, on which trains will be able to travel at 160 km/h.
Karadjov explained that the reinforcement of the tunnel was made with a light and cheap structure, which does not work in heavy clay soils.
