Ankara-Sana
The Turkish Statistics Authority revealed that the unemployment rate last November witnessed a remarkable increase, to 12.9 percent.
According to data issued by the authority and reported by the Turkish newspaper Zaman, that the workforce decreased last October by about one million and 288 thousand people compared to the same month of 2019, bringing the number of the workforce to 31 million and 452 thousand people, while the participation rate in the workforce decreased to 50 percent.
During the same period, the percentage of illegal employment, which reflects the percentage of workers not listed in any social security institutions, out of the total number of workers, decreased compared to the same month of 2019, to 31 percent.
The percentage of illegal employment outside the agricultural sector decreased compared to the same period in 2019 to reach 19.9 percent, and the rate of joining the workforce decreased during the same period to reach 40.8 percent.
The rates of people not included in the ranks of the students or the ranks of the employed increased to 27.6%.
The high unemployment rate represents another testament to the accumulation of failure of the internal and external policies of the Turkish regime president Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the political and economic levels over the years, which negatively affected his country's economy in search of a lifeline, while those close to him began to jump from his sinking boat to escape from the evil of its plague.
