Page "Economy of Armenia" Paragraph 87

According to research commissioned by the Yerevan office of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OSCE ), at least one in three working-age Armenians was unemployed as of February 2005 despite several consecutive years of double-digit economic growth.

The finding sharply contrasts with government's official unemployment rate of about 10 percent.

A 2003 household survey conducted by the National Statistical Survey found that the real unemployment rate is about 33 percent.
