Unemployment is dropping, and the government will “do all in its power to reduce it further,” Labor Minister Yiannis Vroutsis said in Patras on Friday, according to ANA.
“Unemployment today stands at 16.6 pct, from 19.3 pct it was at the end of 2018,” he said. “We hope that by the end of 2020 we lower it to 15 pct. Our consistent target is to bring the unemployment figure to the average rate of European countries,” he stressed.
He added the electronic check-in at work is expected to be introduced by April, and the Labor Ministry “will be the first ministry to be entirely digitized,” in time to introduce the first digitally issued pensions by June 1, as the new draft bill promises.
