Abstract: Abstract The health crisis that started in 2020 affected the entire world in all areas. Things have changed, with work experiencing another level, with domains where it was not possible to work online or companies that could not resist the changes in the economy; thus, many unemployed persons were registered, with the unemployment rate increasing a lot. The healthcare market has also suffered, having to face the pandemic with fewer doctors and personnel. In addition to this deficit, the entire healthcare system has proved less efficient in case of a health crisis, with countries experiencing low resilience. In this context, the paper analyses employment and unemployment in general and in the healthcare system, both in the EU and in Romania in particular, until and after the health crisis began.
