Minister: Job seekers and unemployment cut in half over five years

ArmInfo.  The number of job seekers and unemployed individuals in Armenia has been nearly halved over the past five years, as stated by Minister of Labor and  Social Affairs Arsen Torosyan  in a recent post on his Facebook page.

According to him, the steady increase in  newly created jobs  is  confirmed by official statistics from the Unified Social Service. The  number of job seekers and unemployed has nearly halved over the past  five years.

Minister Torosyan also added that while the government reports  consistent growth in job creation, the data is often met with  skepticism or "unclear noise" from certain circles. However, he  emphasized that the correlation between the rising number of jobs and  the falling number of job seekers is undeniable. "The decline in  these indicators continues," he wrote.
