“Its Labor Force Survey ELSTAT for the year 2021 published today showed that the number of employees in Greece was over 4 million, for the first time in many years. And the unemployment rate – which we received at 17.2% in the summer of 2019 – fell in December to 12.8%, despite the mediation of the coronavirus and despite the estimates of some for a jump in unemployment after the end of support measures. “Instead, unemployment has fallen,” said the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs. Kostis Hatzidakis during his deuterology in today’s debate on the bill to modernize it ΕΦΚΑ in its Plenary Session Parliament.
“Who is more philanthropic? The one who delivers unemployment to 17.2% – SYRIZA – or the one who drops it to 12.8%? ” asked Mr. Hatzidakis. “Was the SYRIZA government that created 40,000 jobs in 4 years through OAED programs more proactive, or the New Democracy government that created 50,000 jobs in 1.5 years, tripling the pace at which OAED is moving? And this is not the end of our employee policy, because at the end of April we will announce a significant increase in the minimum wage. An increase that is not only a matter of the will of the government, but a result of our overall economic policy. Fiscal, licensing, labor, tax and insurance. No matter how many slogans you say, people draw their own conclusions. Because you can give theatrical performances of social sensitivity, but citizens are looking at social efficiency. “And that is where we win you over!”, Concluded the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs.
