Iran: Warning! 5 million educated unemployed Iranians

 

More and more young men becoming unemployed in Iran

Reza Rahmani, chair of the Iranian Parliament Industrial Commission said, “All industrial ministries must get to work because the unemployment alarm has been sounded, because in addition to the other unemployed people, we now have more than 5 million educated unemployed people across the country.”

Speaking on Saturday night in the regime’s Chamber of Commerce session in the city of Tabriz (northwest Iran), Rahmani said Iran is now 117^th in the world in employment.

“In an atmosphere where our industry is full of corruption, inflation and poor employment conditions, there will be no growth… other than the [Iran-Iraq] war period, we have never faced such difficult recession and economic dilemmas,” he added.

7 million unemployed youths in Iran

Mullah Mesbah Moghadam, a member of the Iranian Parliament Budget & Planning Commission said on Sunday in a speech in Isfahan, “The country is suffering from severe recession. We have 7 million unemployed youths. Salvation means being saved from economic recession that our country is currently suffering from in major economic proportions,” he said.

“Currently, our villages are being emptied due to lack of jobs, water and other shortages. If these residents are supported and provided with education, and if there is a joint effort in this regard, they will provide for their own needs, and those of the entire population,” he said in remarks criticizing Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s policies.
