Bislimi: Unemployment in the country is the lowest in the last 20 years

Finance Minister Besnik Bislimi has said that since 1999 the unemployment rate has not been the smallest in the country, currently with 24.5 per cent.

“So far in their application for the measure of 3, 8 and 14 of the government's emergency package of the Republic of Kosovo, the country's companies have registered a total of 9,946 new workers, while announcing they have fired 1268 workers. According to official statistics at the end of the year we left behind, 130,289 individuals have been registered as unemployed, and the official unemployment rate has been 25.9%”, it is expressed via Facebook, broadcasting the Kosovo Clan.

The shift between young people and those who have lost their jobs caused the number of unemployed in just one month to drop to 6.6%, which represents the largest drop in the last 20 years. This, if taken as the only change in this period, means that the rate of official unemployment (still underrated) would drop to the level of 24.1%<1>.
