Unemployment went down, but only slightly
Dane revealed that last year’s unemployment rate was 10,4%, only slightly lower than the previous year’s 10,8%. While President Santos celebrated the news, others are concerned the Government will have a hard time keeping unemployment on a downward trend.
“Colombia,” said General Labor Confederation President, Julio Roberto Gómez, “doesn’t have a policy conducive to generating sustainable employment, or jobs that aren’t temporary or seasonal.”
