ArmInfo.The State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia fixes an increase in the level of employment - in some cases, new jobs are opened, in a number of others - they are removed from the "shadow". Head of the SRC David Ananyan stated this on October 23 in parliament.
According to Ananyan, the department previously headed by him announced that in Armenia there were almost 65 thousand more registered jobs. So, compared with May 20, 2018, the number of registered jobs has increased by 64,899.

"One thing is clear - we are seeing dynamics in this direction. We should pay attention not to absolute numbers, but to trends, and the trend speaks of an increase, which is due to both the reduction of the" shadow "and the growth of the economy, in particular, the opening of new enterprises and new jobs, "he said.
