In October Belarusian Enterprises Fired Almost 60,000 Employees

Even according the official statistics, the situation with employment of the population has considerably deteriorated as compared the last year.

For example, in October this year about 4.4 million Belarusians were employed, which is by 1.5% less than in October 2015. However, officials claim that the unemployment rate in the country is still low, less than 1%, Salidarnasts writes.

However, in October the greatest number of redundant employees were in the industry – 13,000 lost job in this sphere. Commercial workers had hard times as well – more than 10,000 persons find themselves in the street. Besides, the construction sector is among the leaders as well, with its almost 6,500 dismissals in a month.

It is worth mentioning that among the most wide-spread reasons for dismissal are “unexcused absence or other violations of violation of labour discipline,” as well as “ reduction in the number of employees or staff size, liquidation of organisations.”

We remind that representatives of trade unions find figures of the official statistics in this sphere inaccurate, and suppose that the real unemployment could be many folds higher.
