According to Albawaba, the official unemployment rate in Morocco hits 11.2 percent. (December 25, 2003)
According to the article, unemployment rate has increased 0.8% over last year's same period. Officials in Morocco say the unemployment pans urban populations, mainly young graduates.
Raiooster Bahja (MN), frustrated by what calls Morocco's injustice, asks the questions "[w]hy only the rich, or people with connections can find a job in Morocco. Why do we have illiterate people in the parliament and intellectuals starving with no jobs. Why do educated people flee the country?
Does the growing number of the unemployed in Morocco coupled with the difficulty to immigrate alerts of internal social and political stressful consequences? Can these consequences be predictable?
Since King Mohammed 6 succeeded kingship of the country, Moroccans have been hoping that the unemployment issue be attenuated, but in vain. Moroccans have been watching millions of dollars being spent on the Sahara conflict, ongoing negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement between Morocco and the US (follow progress from Morocco, USA), ever-lasting talks to join the European Union, and shattered hopes for a Maghreb union. How do the priorities of any of these play in the mind of the unemployed Moroccan?
How else can the government and the king measure their success, if jobs are not created and made available for eligible people without discrimination of sex, race, tribe, religion, familly origin, or social status.
Unedited Proposal by Bahja (MN):
Why only the reach, or people with connections can find a job. why we have 20 % UNEMPLOYEMENT? why we have illetarte people in the parlment and intelectuals starving with no jobs. Why educated people fleed the country.
