As of December 2009, the unemployment rate in Armenia reached 7.1%,
while it was estimated 6.3% at the beginning of the year, Head of
the State Employment Agency Sona Harutyunyan told a press conference
today. However, according to her, the numbers do not reflect the real
picture of unemployment rate in the country.
"We have conducted a research to calculate the real number of the
unemployed in Armenia, according to which the unemployment rate
was estimated 27.5%, while the official figure is 7.1%. As it is
officially said, it's the ratio of the number of the unemployed to
the number of the employed," Sona Harutyunyan said.
