The truth about growing jobs: Kurti government in 4 years results in only 80,000 employees more

The current government according to actual statistics is emerging to have repeatedly manipulated employment statistics, while official data shows another reality from what has been publicly promoted.

According to the report provided by Infocus newspaper, based on the statistics of the Kosovo Pension Trust, if we compare the month of March 2021 when Kurt officially began his mandate with the month of March 2025, it turns out that the number of active accounts has increased by just a little over 80,000.

In March 2021, there were 330,988 active accounts, while in March 2025 that figure is 339,289 an increase of about 8 thousand accounts in four years.

If we present these statistics as he used them and presented them to the public, Finance Minister Iron Murati is down to four years taking as a comparison March in Kosovo only 80,000 new jobs or 8,000 new employees have been added.

An almost similar trend results even if we receive statistics year-on-year for March. Based on these statistics, if we compare the month March 2024 and the March 2023 increase in active accounts is just over 5,000 accounts.

• The month of March 2023 2022, the increase in active accounts is only 10,000.
• March 2022-2021, the rate of active accounts is 13 thousand more

This situation, presented above, shows the trend of the decline of active workers year after year during Kurt's rule, always making comparisons for March.

At the beginning of the mandate, Minister Murati's statements for only 7 months of governance in 2021 were that 22 thousand new jobs had been created.

“The employment has an increase of 22,000 new jobs compared to early June. We've had the growth projections at 7.9 percent, but consider the performance we're expected to have over 10 percent”, he had declared at the time.

The newspaper Infocus has published several articles from statistics it has provided from the Kosovo Pension Trust, where it sees the huge difference in figures that publicly boasted power in the currently evacuation.

On Monday, Infocus has been exposed through average annual data released by the Trust by Prime Minister Kurti's statement, which for four years has opened 78 thousand new jobs.

Based on this official data, 87 thousand jobs have not been created, but over the past four years only about 31 thousand new accounts of active contributors have been added.

While the Kurti government in this data has consistently ignored an extremely serious reality that presents the alarming situation in Kosovo as far as launching where nearly 700 thousand working-age citizens are either inactive or not working -- more than 100,000 young people are neither working nor in school or training. So the rate of non-active remains very high, about 60 percent. /Periscopi/
