Jordan Daily – Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh stated on Saturday that the current growth rates are insufficient to solve the unemployment problem, with the unemployment rate currently around 21.4% according to the Department of Statistics.
He attributed part of this to a culture of leaning towards the public sector, which is no longer able to generate job opportunities.
Speaking at the opening session of the National Dialogue Forum “Tawasul 2024” under the title “Jordan’s Sustenance: From Stability to Recovery”, Al-Khasawneh added that Jordan has a scarcity of natural resources but possesses a distinctive human wealth.
He pointed out that the economy produced more than 46,000 job opportunities during the first half of last year , noting that the private sector bore a lot during the coronavirus pandemic from closures.
