Europe and Unemployment: ROMANIA





The unemployment rate in Romania for this year (2011) is at 14,6%. It is lower than last years, but we have no prognosis for next year because of a recent event: on 27th of September 2011 NOKIA, one of the biggest investors from Romania, closed their factories all over our country. It means 2000 empty working places and, in addition, a lot of partner firms (with all the youth workers that lose their jobs). It means, moreover, about 1,8 BILLIONs of Euros per year aout of our economy.

The minimum salary in Romania is 670 RON (about 160 €).

The emigration to other European countries with bigger salaries is really high, especially among young people.
Another factor of big unemployment rate is that a lot of people work on the black market.

The current  government speaks about a national project. For example, extracting gold from “Rosia Montana” (Red Mountain). It is expected that this project will create a lot of new jobs, partnerships an a huge help economy. There are a lot of debates on the topic, because extracting gold is very toxic and bed for environment.
