Only 57,000 employees were returned to work in the first week of June

Only 57,000 workers were returned in the first week of June. All in all, this is a decline from about 900,000 unemployed to about 850,000, which is a decrease of 6% - according to figures published by the Employment Service on Thursday. It is estimated that there is under-reporting for the Employment Service, but even if that is the case - it is doubtful that the number of returnees is higher than a few dozen percent compared to the official figure. The fear of a second wave of the Corona eruption may affect some employers who prefer not to return workers from the IAF for fear of being unable to take them out again.
The Employment Service also reported that from the last update yesterday at 16:00 to today at 16:00, the Employment Service received 12.5 thousand reports of returning to work. At the same time, 1,250 new job seekers were registered. Since the easing of the closure of the economy began on April 19, the Employment Service received 288,000 reports of returning to work, while 110 new job seekers were registered. Employers will receive a NIS 7,500 grant for each employee who is posted to the USSR and returned to the labor market.
