President Alvarado announces creation of more than 3,000 jobs as of June By the A.M. Costa Rica staff President Carlos Alvarado announced Monday that, as of June, more than 3,000 jobs will been created while the government simplifies procedures for companies. The president said that the major issue for Costa Rica is the generation of more jobs and called on the entire population to join this crusade to facilitate the conditions that allow the economy to be reactivated. "That is the priority we all have as a country," said President Alvarado. The president signed the decree that creates the National Employment System (SNE), a public organization that will coordinate all the employment services that the government gives to generate new jobs especially to people who are in a more vulnerable condition The SNE will be headed by a council made up of representatives of the government, workers and private companies. In addition, the National Employment Agency was created. It will be in charge of the National Apprenticeship Institute, which will have branches throughout the country that attend to both to people and companies. The SNE will give support to people who are looking for a job, making a record of a database of candidates, giving orientation, giving training, being an intermediary before and after the hiring. "Today I commit myself to do everything in my power to generate conditions for employment and for Costa Rica to grow, I know that Costa Rica is capable of doing it," said President Alvarado. It is expected that in the next few hours, the president will provide more information on how the 3,000 people will be hired. In April, as A.M. Costa Rica reported, the results of the most recent survey of the Center for Research and Political Studies and the School of Political Sciences of the University of Costa Rica show that 25 percent of the Costa Rican population perceives unemployment as the country's main problem followed by the cost of living, mentioned by 21 percent of the surveyed people. In February the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC) reported that during the first three months of this year, from January to March, the unemployment rate was 11.3 percent, which is equivalent to approximately 276 thousand people unemployed. In addition, the percentage of people with informal employment was 44.9 percent, which means an increase of 3.8 percentage points with respect to the fourth quarter of 2017. This is equivalent to 971,000 people with informal employment. Informal employment includes any activity of those who work and generate some income outside the “formal work” as defined by the Labor Code. Informal employment includes street vendors, gardeners, and domestic service workers, among others. ------------------ What should the government do to reduce the unemployment rate?
