In detail the post of the Prime Minister:
“There is no greater social injustice than unemployment and inequalities it causes. That is why I was very pleased with the details of the latest report of the ERGANI system, which records a 25 -year record in new jobs.
The primary goal we set as a government when we took over our duties in 2019 for a dynamic recovery of investment and employment is now achieved. Obviously it is not something that is happening in itself or with an automatic pilot, but the outcome of the policies we apply to the economy and the labor market.
With the drastic reduction of taxes and contributions to employees and businesses. With strong incentives for new investment and the restriction of bureaucracy. With active employment and training policies, especially for specific groups of the population, such as women, young people, people with disabilities and pensioners who wish to work.
This improvement is a collective conquest. Greece is progressing, in very troubled times that are testing larger and stronger economies than ours.
And progress is not only quantitative but also qualitative. Now, 3 out of 4 employees are employed in full -time positions. An increase of 10 points since 2019, when part -time positions were significantly more.
