TEHRAN – Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri said on Saturday that Iran’s most important issue is unemployment, Fars news agency reported.

“Studies show that the number of jobs created over the last 30 years has been limited,” Jahangiri said, adding that the country needs to attract more investment to create new employment opportunities.

He further said that youth unemployment, especially among university graduates, is even more important “because based on forecasts, we will have more than 1 million graduates annualy seeking jobs in the country.”
