The Romanian people's hard work has resulted in miracles, and the country is home to many inventions. Architects, sculptors, designers, and researchers will find paradise in Romania.

According to macrotrends reports, Romania's unemployment rate has decreased from 7.2% in 2011 to 3.9% in April 2019, indicating rapid economic growth year after year. Manufacturing laborers, business markets, freight handlers, heavy truck drivers, teaching, and shop sales executives are among the top employable talent in the country. Exports, service, restaurant, lodging, machine manufacturing, transportation, and textile industries have experienced the fastest growth in the last ten years.

The cost of living in a country is determined by a variety of factors, including the city in which the person resides, the type of industry dominant in that area, state revenue, taxation policies, and much more. One of the most important factors influencing the cost of living is location. The table below provides information on the cost of living in Romania.

The average rent in Romania ranges between USD 300 and $500 per month, depending on the city and type of accommodation. Living alone is more expensive than living in a shared living space.

The cost of living in Romania varies greatly between cities. Cities are divided into tiers, and the cost of living varies according to the tier. Tier 1 cities have higher salaries and, as a result, higher living costs. Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities have different costs depending on their economic status.

Tier-1 status is granted to all major metropolitan and large cities. These cities have higher wages and higher living costs. Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Lasi, for example.

Some cities are classified as New Tier 1 towns. These are emerging capital cities with rapid growth rates. New Tier 1 cities include Constanta, Craiova, and Brasov.

Tier 2 cities are the capital cities of a province, or almost all large cities with moderate economic growth. Tier 2 cities include Galati, Ploiești, and Oradea, to name a few.

Finally, Tier 3 cities are significantly smaller than Tier 2 cities. These cities have low economic growth and lower living costs.
