According to him, the fight against unemployment is the primary task of the government.

“Since April 1, the number of people who have been officially registered with the employment service as unemployed has grown by more than 3.5 times. But, judging by the data of the Ministry of Labor, a sharp, explosive increase in unemployment was avoided, ”Mishustin said.

He noted that the Cabinet has taken a whole range of measures.

Earlier, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov said that the peak of the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the labor market has been passed.
