unemployment solutions
As for the solution to this problem, there is some disagreement among economists. Some advocate state investment in the economy, while others point to the need to balance public accounts in favor of attracting resources for production.
However, the Department of Labor and Welfare said it does not comment on the uncertain outlook regarding unemployment.
However, it is important to remember the latest available data and forecasts regarding the unemployment rate, which were announced during the pandemic, and which were subsequently not verified. […] Also in 2020, many research institutions and financial markets have forecast unemployment rates of between 18% and 23%, considering the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. These results did not occur in 2020 or 2021.”Ministry said.
