Competition for jobs surges in Iranian cities after ceasefire, says state media

May 15, 2026, 11:44 GMT+1

Competition for jobs in major Iranian cities has intensified since the ceasefire, with the number of job seekers rising faster than available positions, Nournews reported citing data from recruitment platform Job Vision.

Shiraz recorded the sharpest increase among surveyed cities, with competition for jobs rising 4.8-fold, followed by Mashhad at 3.5 times and Qom and Isfahan at 3.4 times, according to the outlet close to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

Tehran registered a 2.7-fold increase in competition among job seekers, as pressure on Iran’s labor market deepened after the truce.
