EXAGGERATED
the president, Mauricio Macri, referred to the employment situation in the country after the INDEC published the first data from the labor market sheds its management. “There are a number that we have to worry, that is the population that actually has a job in Argentina just over 40%. Most countries in the region I is above 50%,” he said

from Office of the President confirmed that the number Macri referred to discuss the Argentina corresponded to the employment rate (ie, the indicator that measures the percentage among the population that is occupied and the total population) published by the INDEC and it estimated at 41.7 percent.
Furthermore, they claimed that the data of the region obtained from a report by the International Labour Organization (ILO). However, this study refers to the rate of employed population over the population of working age and not the total population and the fact that it took for Argentina. For this very reason, the percentages quoted by the President can not be compared.
If you consider the employment rate of the total population for the entire region, continent gives the average 44.7% and Argentina 41.17% mentioned, so there is a difference of ten points scored Macri. Anyway, the Argentine figure is the lowest of the nine cases analyzed.
Meanwhile, the employment rate comparing to the occupied with the population of working age (over 14 years) reached 52.4% in the country for the second quarter of 2016. this figure also represents the lowest in the region, and the South American average in this case is 58.3 percent (six-point difference with our country). The World Bank data show a similar trend
Agustín Rossi, deputy Parlasur by the Front for Victory. “They have managed to bring unemployment in my city [Rosario] 6% to almost 12% in just eight months, “
UNTENABLE
” Rosario becomes as it was in the 90s the urban agglomerate the highest rate of unemployment in Argentina, “said the former defense minister and deputy Parlasur by the Front for Victory, Agustín Rossi, during his speech at the” March of Resistance “. “They have had the merit of achieving bring unemployment in my city of 6% to nearly 12% in just eight months,” he said
For the second quarter of 2016. The agglomerate Gran Rosario has an unemployment of 11.7%, according to the latest data published by INDEC based on the Permanent Household Survey (EPH). In line with those of Rossi, it is the urban area with the highest unemployment rate in the country, followed by Mar del Plata, with 11.6%; and Gran Córdoba, with 11.5 percent.
In 2015, the data showed 8.3% unemployment in the Gran Rosario for the second quarter and 8.8% for the third quarter , at the official institute stopped publishing information.
when comparing the figures mentioned, growth in unemployment in almost four points is even lower than indicated by the former defense minister of the Nation (six points).
Despite this, it is not clear the relevance of the comparison. The INDEC said in its latest report that does not include the figures for the period 2007-2015 (as the organism was involved) because “should be considered with reserves.” Cynthia Pok, head of EPH, said increased unemployment but can not say precisely how much of the increase is due to problems of irregularities with data and how problems of generation of new unemployed.
