DomRep Government Ensures Jobs Lost Due To Pandemic Are Almost Fully Recovered

• To reach the total number of formal and informal jobs that existed in the Dominican Republic before the pandemic, only 10,000 would be missing, according to data presented by the Minister of Economy, Planning, and Development (MEPYD), Miguel Ceara Hatton. 
• In the first quarter of 2020, formally and informally employed persons stood at 4,605.9Mn, and in the third quarter of 2021, employed persons reached 4,595.0Mn, down 0.24%. 
• Through a document issued, the MEPYD explains that the number of employed workers has increased. As of October 2021, formal contract workers exceed the employment level of February 2020. As a result, workers employed in the private sector recovered what was lost in 2020 and compensated for the reduction in formal public employment.
