60% of new jobs will go to graduates.

Finance Minister Nizar Baraka announced Thursday that 60% of jobs planned for the 2012 finance law will be reserved for graduates.
In a press statement shortly before the government council meeting, the minister added that a total of 26,200 jobs will be created, half of which are intended for the social sectors, stressing that "employment is the government's top priority."

He stated that public investment, which plays an important role in job creation, will reach 188 billion dirhams, in addition to the allocation of 1 billion dirhams to support the employment fund for the private sector, in order to support citizens, particularly young people, and encourage them to join the private sector while ensuring social protection and job continuity.
