In the coming three years, around 5000 new jobs will be created. Officially, some 1400 jobseekers are registered with the Labor Ministry (ATM). Yet ATM Minister Ginmardo Kromosoeto does not expect these new jobs to put unemployment levels at zero. The expansion of the aluminum refinery will create some 1500 new jobs and the construction of 18,000 new houses around 1000. Investments in the agrarian sector will also create some 1000 new jobs, while the start of the Newmont gold company and the infrastructure projects will add another 1500. “There are people looking for other types of work than in agriculture and mining”, the ATM Minister replies when asked whether the 5000 new jobs will mean an end to unemployment. “There will always be some unemployment.” DWT spoke with Minister Kromosoeto at Schiphol Airport on Saturday as he was on his way to Geneva to attend the 100th session of the International Labor Organization (ILO). He will address the ILO meeting today.
