The topic of unemployment and jobseekers in Libya has taken on an increased political significance with the beleaguered internationally recognized Libyan government based in Tripoli led by Faiez Serraj promising to train unemployed university graduates.

The pledge was made by Serraj during his big speech in reaction to demonstrations at which protestors were shot at by his government recognized security forces.

The incident led to Serraj suspending his Interior Minister for publicly supporting the unauthorized demonstrations. Serraj was also forced into a flurry of decrees in an effort to sedate public anger at fuel, electricity, water, cash shortages as well as widely perceived state corruption.
