Pashinyan: More than 222,000 jobs  created in Armenia since 2018

ArmInfo.  As of September 2025, Armenia has achieved a new historical milestone in the number of registered jobs. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this  during a regular cabinet meeting on October 23.

"The number of registered and income-generating jobs has crossed the  800,000 mark, reaching 805,687.  Compared to September 2024, this  figure has increased by 37,140, or 4.8%, and compared to September  2018, by 222,912, or 38%. Thus, we can confirm that more than 222,000  jobs have been created in Armenia since 2018," he said. Pashinyan  mentioned that Armenia had previously transitioned to a single, flat  income tax rate. As a result, the current income tax rate, regardless  of income, is 20%. "This means that the excess interest remains in  the hands of citizens. Our calculations show that there is money  circulating in the Armenian economy," he stated with confidence.
