Employment opportunities improving in Iran: Rouhani

Tehran, Oct 14, IRNA – One of the main results of economic prosperity and growth is employment and it should be kept in mind that employment will not improve immediately after the economy is out of recession. The above statement was made by President Hassan Rouhani in a televised interview on Monday night in which he also said employment is created within a time span but in some areas such as tourism job opportunities have been created. “In the field of tourism we are looking for experts in hotel keeping as there is not enough workforces in this field with regard to the number of hotels which are constructed. There are also not enough tour guides for historical sites and in some areas efforts have been launched to absorb the required staff.” He quoted a report by the Labor Ministry that the number of those who receive money from Unemployment Insurance Fund has been reduced and the number of those who have been insured has increased, indicating an increase in employment. According to the Labor Ministry over 40 thousand new employment opportunities have been registered against 80 thousand who have come out of business. The president expressed hope that employment in the second six months of the current year will take an upward trend. He said in its third year the government is after a one digit inflation rate and an economic growth of 6%. “We have such planning and we hope to realize our goals because with regard to economic growth and reduction of unemployment the figures that are announced by the government are correct.” The president said: “The 11th government has promised to be honest with the people and whenever it makes a mistake it will inform the public and make an apology as we consider apologizing to the people a source of honor.”/end
