2017 will result in a sharp increase in unemployment in Ukraine
The increase in the minimum wage to 3,2 thousand hryvnia (a little over 100 US dollars) from the new year, advertised by the Ukrainian authorities, will in reality lead to disastrous consequences. Economic expert Alexander Okhrimenko stated this on the NewsOne TV channel.

According to him, individual entrepreneurs will not be able to sharply increase the salaries of their employees, which will lead either to mass layoffs or the closure of the state of emergency. All this will further worsen economic statistics in Ukraine.
“As I understand it, the 17th year will be the year when the number of unemployed will increase, it will grow very much, because employers will do this: “I pay one, everyone else quits,” salaries in envelopes will increase and the number of emergency workers who are officially working,” Okhrimenko predicts.
