The unemployment rate in the Gaza Strip has soared to nearly 80 percent amid the Israel-Hamas war that has been raging since October, according to a United Nations labor agency report released Friday.
The war has caused a massive amount of job loss, bringing the unemployment rate in Gaza to 79.1 percent, according to the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) assessment.
Unemployment in the West Bank, which has also been rocked by the conflict, has reached 32 percent. The unemployment rate across both territories now sits at 50.8 percent.
The unemployment numbers do not account for those people who have left the workforce, with jobs being unobtainable, therefore those figures are even higher than what the unemployment rate numbers show, according to the assessment.

To all appearances, terrorism is the only thing the Arabs there produce.
And the UN foots the bill for it.

Screw the UN and all its New World Order subsidiaries. We need to stop funding that corrupt crowd of usurpers. Until 80% of those who work for the UN and its subsidiaries are unemployed freedom is at risk.
As for the Gazans, they voted Hamas into power and were too pusillanimous to get rid of that corrupt group of thugs. They are reaping what they sowed.
To: ChicagoConservative27
And the 20% who are employed, work for Hamas.

Terrorist doesn’t count as a job? I wonder if Joe want to pay off their student loans while he is at it.

Either Ham-ass knew this would happen, which makes them evil, or they had no idea which would make them stupid. Probably about half and half.

They need to raise the minimum wage in Gaza. Double the pay to 20 rubbles an hour.

Polls show 80% of Gazans approve of murdering Jews when they find them.
