The impact of drought on the unemployment rate in spring

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, the unemployment rate in spring has reached 9.2% according to the report of Iran Statistics Center, which shows an increase of 0.4% compared to the spring of last year. But what was the reason for this rate increase?

The details of the employment level in different economic sectors show that in the spring of 1400, the employment rate was 4 million 249 thousand 754 people, but this figure has decreased to 3 million 782 thousand 500 people this spring.

This decrease in the level of employment in the agricultural sector was caused by the drought and the decrease in the production of agricultural products and the labor required for harvesting in the spring season. In fact, this reduction of 467 thousand people in the agricultural sector has occurred not because of economic policies but because of drought.

In this regard, the amount of employment in the service sector has increased from 11 million 552 thousand 397 people in the spring of last year to 12 million 78 thousand 190 people.

According to the amount of incomplete employment and the amount of employment of 7 million 711 thousand 680 workers in the industry sector, the total working force in the spring of 1401 amounted to 25 million 854 thousand 691 people, and the amount of the working force in the spring of 1400 is equal to 25 million and there were 985 thousand and 958 people.

If we remove the agricultural sector from the employment level in the spring of 1400 and spring of 1401, the employment rate this spring will be 335 thousand more than the same period last year, and this shows what caused the 0.4% growth of the unemployment rate in the spring. 1401, there was a drought in the agricultural sector.
