The unemployment rate in Jordan reached 15.8 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Department of Statistics (DOS) reported Wednesday.In the West Bank, unemployment among males was 15% and among women 26.7%, which is not too much different.
The DOS said the unemployment rate among males stood at 13.8 percent and 24.8 per cent among females in the same period.
So why does the world make such a big deal over the Palestinian economy and ignoring Jordan's?
Admittedly, in Gaza it is a mess, but the numbers in Gaza would be similar to the West Bank if it wasn't run by Hamas.
