Armenia adds 15 thousand registered jobs in September reaching a record
The number of registered jobs in Armenia rose by 15 thousand in September compared with August, setting a new record. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reported this at the October 22 cabinet meeting, citing data compiled by the State Revenue Committee. Compared with September last year, the number of jobs grew by 39.8 thousand, or about 4.9%, while the average wage rose by AMD 28.4 thousand (about $78), or about 7%.
“Compared with September 2017, that is, the pre-revolution September, we currently have an increase of 311,480 jobs. Overall, this is also noticeable, and it is visually clear that there is quite good economic activity in Armenia,” the prime minister noted.
Pashinyan also addressed the challenges. He said the visible challenge of the current period is relations within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which the government will work on in the near future. “Our understanding here is as follows: our entire policy will be aimed at ensuring our economic dynamics and, of course, strengthening the sovereignty, independence and statehood of our country in general. These are not only compatible tasks, but one stems from the other, and they are interconnected,” he stressed.
The prime minister added that the diversification of the country’s economic ties “is happening quite well,” and current data give hope that these ties will strengthen and deepen further. “I think that, overall, we should not deviate from the strategy of achieving prosperity through work and should continue on this path. There will be challenges along the way that we must manage,” Pashinyan said.
The head of government recalled that, based on 2025 results, Armenia’s gross domestic product (GDP) has grown by about 53% since 2018. “We must continue our work with this dynamic and be prepared to work this way: create the most comfortable conditions possible for the economy and businesses so that they work, generate results and pay the taxes established by law,” the prime minister explained.
