Camaguey, August 8 (acn) The
unemployment rate in the province of Camaguey, some 500 kilometers east
of Havana, has since 2003 dropped to below three per cent, the labour
standard set by the International Labour Organization (ILO) for the
economically active population in every country.
The Labor and Social Security local office reported that over 19
thousand jobs have been created so far in 2007. Most of the positions
have been taken over by university and technical school graduates,
handicapped able to work, people who have finished their duties with
the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) and ex-convicts.
The ILO establishes that an ideal labour standard for each country
should be a three per cent or less unemployment rate, involving the
economically active population, which comprises all persons of either
sex who furnish the supply of labour for the production of economic
goods and services.
