Armenia sets new record of registered jobs

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 27, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during today’s Cabinet meeting that a new absolute record of income-salary jobs has been registered in the history of Armenia in September 2022.

In September 2022, there were 691,087 jobs in Armenia which is more by 10,000 than the previous record.

“I also must state that this number is more by 39,946 or 6.1% compared to September 2021, and is more by 108,312 or 18.6% compared to September 2018. We can record that since 2018, 108,000 new jobs have been created and went out of the shadow in Armenia”, he said.

He stated that all the salaries paid to all employed persons in September 2022 are more by 33 billion 430 million drams or 23.5% compared to September 2021.

“I think this is a very important indicator for one year. Compared to September 2018, this figure is more by 74 billion 161 million drams or 73.2%, in other words, now the total salary fund of the Republic is 73% more than in September 2018. The total sum of the income tax is very important. This is perhaps the figure that can make us feel proud. The income tax in September 2022, compared to September 2021, has been collected more by 5 billion 351 million drams or 17.6%, and compared to September 2018, by 10 billion 556 million drams or 41.8%”, the PM stated, expressing hope that this rate will continue.
