Despite the adversities and difficulties, our efforts to tackle unemployment are taking place, said the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, beginning his speech in Parliament, during the discussion of the bill of the Ministry of Labor “Jobs Again: Reorganization of Public Service and Employment services, upgrading of skills of the workforce and diagnosis of work needs and other provisions “.
Commenting on the limited presence of opposition lawmakers in the debate, he noted that the bill is extremely important, not only because of the impact it will have on the labor market, but also because it reflects the government’s vision for a progressive and proactive labor policy.
No country can withstand the waste of its human resources, the prime minister said, borrowing a quote from Franklin Roosevelt, adding that unemployment is the greatest threat to any society.
In ND we have been fighting unemployment since July 2019, he said and added that despite the difficulties, the data show that the effort is taking place.
He referred to the data on unemployment announced today (12.8% in February) and noted that this is the fastest de-escalation in Europe with the creation of 200,000 new jobs.
However, he added that there is no satisfaction in the government, as it is the 2nd highest in Europe. “Only Spain has higher unemployment than us,” he said.
