\"State-Run<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s economic crises and people\u2019s livelihood problems become worse daily. The Iranian regime tries to cover up people\u2019s harsh living conditions, simultaneous with its apologists\u2019 efforts abroad to blame sanctions for Iran\u2019s crises. Yet, state-run media now admit to Iran\u2019s economic crises and the regime\u2019s role<\/a> in deepening them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWorkers\u2019 incomes do not cover living expenses. Workers\u2019 life expectancy<\/a> shows a real decline compared to other classes,\u201d wrote the state-run Kar-o Kargar on Tuesday, referring to Iranian workers\u2019 plight.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, no policy or movement favors low-income groups, and the workers\u2019 purchasing power is diminishing every day. Wages<\/a> do not cover the living costs because the poverty line is four times the minimum wage,\u201d Kar-o Kargar continues.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Karo Kargar then asks how workers could indeed affect Iran\u2019s economic cycle when they are \u201cthreatened with livelihood problems.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Karo Kargar admits that Iranian workers and other low-income groups are \u201cconcerned with maintaining the family and low wages, layoffs, termination of temporary employment contracts, psychological pressures from employer-imposed immorality, factory closures, rampant inflation, terrible devaluation.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, the semi-official ILNA News Agency quoted Ehsan Soltan, one of the regime\u2019s economists admitting that \u201cThe price of goods has increased at least five times. People\u2019s purchasing power has been halved in the commodity sector.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe same purchasing power of the people has decreased by 30 to 50 percent to inflation; Especially for the commodity sector because the service sector does not have that much inflation,\u201d Soltani adds, according to ILNA News Agency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Hassan Rouhani\u2019s government and other regime officials try to blame sanctions for the Iranian people\u2019s suffering, the state-run\u00a0<\/span>Bultan<\/span>\u00a0News on Tuesday rejected these claims.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
