While war and sanctions are recognized as the two main factors of economic devastation in Iran, many Iranians are now facing a more serious job crisis. This war has not only limited job opportunities but has also put supporting jobs under severe pressure.
Sanctions and Their Consequences for the Job Market
Economic sanctions, especially from the United States, have caused many companies and workshops to approach closure due to their inability to secure raw materials and equipment. These closures have not only affected workers but have also plunged their families into serious financial problems.
In the current situation, even those who were temporarily or informally employed are now facing job loss due to economic constraints and rising costs. This alarming situation is particularly felt among young people and university graduates who are seeking suitable job opportunities.
Worrying Unemployment Trends
With rising unemployment and decreasing job opportunities, many families have been forced to cut their expenses. This reduction in expenses means a decline in quality of life and even access to basic needs. Consequently, the pressure on vulnerable segments of society has increased, and public discontent has sharply risen.
While the government is seeking solutions to improve the economic situation, it seems that the measures are insufficient and inappropriate. In the meantime, Iranians are fiercely battling the economic and social challenges arising from war and sanctions, and they do not see a bright prospect ahead.
