Opposing opinions on Unemployment figures
Akhali Taba reports that economic analyst Nodar Javakhishvili commented on unemployment in Georgia, saying that a reduction in the number of unemployed will not happen in the near future and any talk of such is just ridiculous. His comment followed the government’s statement that unemployment in Georgia decreased in 2010 by 0.4% and this tendency would continue in 2011.
Javakhishvili said that number of unemployed people is constantly increasing rather than decreasing. “The official statistic is simply absurd, according to it the number of unemployed people is 16%, in reality this number is more than 56%,” he said.
