Bizim Yol writes about unemployment in the country. According to statistics, there are 33 thousand unemployed in Azerbaijan. The expert Natig Jafarli believes the real number of unemployed is much larger. The problem is that all over the world people working in the agricultural sector are not included in the general list of employees. In Azerbaijan, on the contrary, even those who simply have a land plot are included in such a list. --0 ----
