Democratic Left Alliance critical of gov't blueprint to battle unemployment

During yesterday's session the government discussed the current situation of the job market and the strategy to tackle the growing unemployment. The difficulties result from the ongoing economic restructuring, however while last year saw 2.56 million new unemployed, 2.50 million found jobs. In the Unemployment Strategy blueprint to be sent to Sejm on Friday the government suggests the increase in GDP growth to over 6%, a more flexible job market, tax changes and a diversion of the existing resources to active forms of tackling unemployment. However, Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) deputies, who drafted a critical review of the government's Pact for Work, remain adamant that the resources directed against unemployment are rather meager and the figures are not falling.
