Following a rapid economic downturn after the currency crisis, the unemployment rate in Turkey is incredibly high. The recession that began last year, was the result of many years of construction projects that were funded by foreign credit. The current unemployment rate is around 14.7%, or nearly 4.5 million people who do not have a job. While the Turkish government is trying to remedy the economic woes, economists anticipate that high unemployment will continue to be an issue for the next several months.
