Tunisia: All employment indicators are in the red (minister)

The Tunisian Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, Hafedh Amouri, stated Friday that all indicators are in the red concerning employment due to the difficult economic situation that Tunisia is facing in all areas.

The unemployment rate for university graduates has reached 31%, prompting the ministry to use mechanisms to solve the crisis, such as revitalizing sectors that employ university graduates.

Thus, the ministry encourages sectors investing in high value-added and high-tech fields by covering half of the salaries paid to new employees to create real jobs.
