Iran: unemployment crisis

unemployment crisis in Iran

356,000 men and women lost their jobs in the fall of 2015 in comparison to the summer, the state-run Mehr news agency wired on Friday, January 29^th, citing official numbers.

“The numbers show major economic tremors continue to take their victims from the job market, leading to an unemployment crisis, whereas 253,000 employed men lost their jobs from summer to fall,” the report added.

“The fact that in a matter of two months 253,000 of the employed male population and 103,000 of the women population suddenly lost their jobs shows that the country’s job market lacks the necessary strength, and the working conditions of millions of people are easily affected by government policies,” job market experts say.
