Unemployment Figures
Marko Phiri, a freelance writer from Zimbabwe, reports in an article for the National Catholic Reporter that while “according to the Labor Ministry, unemployment stands at 9 percent, independent economists and labor bodies, such as the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, put unemployment at more than 70 percent and insist jobs still are being lost. The Movement for Democratic Change, Zimbabwe’s main opposition political party, puts unemployment at 80 percent. Out of a work force of 3.5 million, some 2.7 million may be unemployed.”
