Eight million are unemployed in Iran

NCRI – A member of regime’s parliament revealed that there are more than 8 million unemployed people in Iran.

Saham News web site reported on June 22 that Daryush Qanbari, a member of regime’s majlis said: “I consider the unemployment rate in Iran to be 30%. Of course, the official statistics declare the unemployment rate to be 14% and the number of unemployed more than 3 million people, but these statistics do not include the women and the university students while the students will soon join the army of unemployed and jobs must be created for them.

 

On the other hand, the conscript soldiers are considered employed by these statistics as well, but upon completion of their compulsory service, they will become unemployed too. If we include the soldiers and students, the number of unemployed in the country reaches 8 million.”
