Makro Cash & Carry ÄŒR, a self-service wholesaler, is to create 600 jobs for the emerging distribution centre in KozomÃn, near Prague. Recruitment of new employees has already started. The firm offers up to 600 positions with motivational payroll. However, it is difficult to find workers into manufacturing and low-skilled jobs.
