Unemployment is Society’s Most Cruel Enemy

Samaras made clear that unemployment should not be treated with wishful thinking and stated his determination for government action as Greece is entering a recovery period. “For the first time after 24 quarters, the GDP is seen rising, while 770,000 new jobs are expected to be added by 2020,” Samaras stressed.

These businesses will have benefits such as less audits and possibly reduced contributions.
