More specifically, in a post on X, the Presidency reports that unemployment was limited to 4.9% in 2024, marking the lowest performance since 2008, while employment reached 79.8%.

As written in the post, "In 2024, employment reached 79.8%, which is the highest percentage recorded in history, while unemployment was limited to 4.9%, marking the lowest performance since 2008."

Achieving the government's goal of creating full employment conditions within the first two years of governance, the post notes, "is a significant labour achievement with a strong positive impact on the economy and society."
