считают конечноThough all the signs are that foreign, EU citizens and illegal immigrants are leaving because they cannot get jobs here, it seems that immigration policy has not adjusted to the recession. For example one of the few growth sectors of the economy has been household services (basically housemaids mostly from the Philippines and Sri Lanka).
The number of unemployed is estimated at over 70,000 on the basis of the surveys aiming at identifying those in search of work, but in view of the regulations for registration of unemployed only 46,863 was officially registered in June of this year. These were broken down as follows by community:
Greek Cypriots 36,624 (74.5 per cent)
Turkish Cypriots 480 (0.1 per cent)
EU Citizens 8,019 (17.1 per cent)
Third Country Nationals 1,740 (3.7 per cent)
The Greek Cypriot community is, therefore, over-represented amongst the unemployed, and the other categories under-represented. In part this is because non-Cypriots tend to leave when they lose their job, but also because they are generally employed on contracts and must leave when their term expires. Illegals are not in the data. The non-Cypriots registered as unemployed are more likely to be legal residents of Cyprus or political refugees.
