The Minister of Employment, Productivity & Industrial Relations, Jone Usamate made these comments while speaking at the CAFF and NTPC graduation at Novotel Entertainment Centre, Lami.
“I want to see a growth in young graduates taking up trade areas and even exploring youth entrepreneurship,” said Usamate.
“Unemployment is a major challenge of our time. Here in Fiji, unemployment is now down to 5.5 percent, which is the lowest it has been in 15 years. A significant portion of our workforce is engaged in informal work or in subsistence economy.”
