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.
