Turkish unemployment jumps to highest in nearly a decade
The unemployment rate in Turkey recently rose to 14.7 percent in response to the currency crisis that occurred last year. This unemployment rate is the highest that the country has experienced in almost a decade. The government recently produced a campaign that is intended to create jobs for 2.5 million people. However, unemployment is expected to continue to rise as the economy recovers from the crisis.
