After the Iraqi Planning Ministry announced that the unemployment rate across Iraq has spiked to 15%, an official from the Kurdistan Region said the rate in Kurdistan is just one percentage lower than the Iraqi level, according to a report from AKnews.
The Iraqi planning minister, whom the report names as 'Mahdi Allaq' [Nasar al-Rubaie?], told a press conference on Thursday that his ministry is seeking to recruit a greater number of citizens in the public sector, in a bid to address the unemployment rate.
