Iranian Administration’s Spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht unveiled plans to provide employment for more than 830,000 people in the next Iranian year.
Speaking at a television talk show on Saturday night, Nobakht said the administration expects to create jobs for 830,000 people in the next Iranian year, 70 percent of whom would be university-educated individuals.
According to the spokesman, the administration has allocated a remarkable amount of the next year’s national budget to job creation by investment in six major areas.
He also dismissed speculations about halting monthly cash payments under the subsidy reform plan, stressing that the number of beneficiaries of cash handout may even increase if the administration detects new eligible receivers and removes rich families from the list of cash receivers.
His comments came after a series of protests in a number of Iranian cities over the past days to complain about high costs of living and economic conditions.
