69,500 Offficially Registered as Unemployed in Armenia...Unofficially?

The unemployment rate in Armenia is officially reported at 6%. The International Labour Organization (ILO) pegs the rate at 19.4%

Artak Simonyan, Deputy Head of the State Employment Service Agency, argues that the disparity is due to different methodologies used.

The ILO considers those who have looked for work within the past week as unemployed.

The State Employment Service Agency calculates only those people who are registered as unemployed at the agency, whereas, landowners are not considered unemployed by the State Employment Service Agency.

Simonyan said that as of December 1, 2011, 82,800 citizens looked for work in Armenia and that 69,500 were registered as unemployed.
