Speaking at a meeting held by the Higher Council for the Promotion of Employment, Amekraz stressed that the measures taken to address the economic and social impact of Covid-19 have helped control the situation of the labor market.

Data from the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) show that economic activity is beginning to gradually recover.

"The number of people registered with the CNSS reached 1.6 million in April, while some 2.5 million employees have been registered so far, and nearly 100,000 employees have not yet returned to work," he said.

Amekraz noted that some sectors, such as the automotive sector, have resumed their activities in record time, while others are still experiencing major problems, such as tourism.

According to the minister, the national plan to promote employment has reached significant figures in the pre-pandemic phase.

These figures have declined due to the impact of the Coronavirus and the launch of the vaccination process will have positive effects on the national economy and the labor market, in particular, he added.

The meeting, which was attended by all economic and social stakeholders, featured a presentation on the situation of the labor market in light of the Coronavirus pandemic and the periodic review for the implementation of the national plan for the promotion of employment by 2020.
