Similarly, the LF department issued a statement on Monday cautioning against widespread joblessness, particularly among the young generation, as a result of escalating illegal competition from foreign labor force. The department underscored the role of the National Employment Office (NEO) established by the Lebanese government in line with Decree No. 77/80, and supervised by the Labor Ministry, with the aim of providing jobs and upgrading the skill of workers through offering accelerated training. The statement concluded by saying that with the reinvigoration of state-run institutions, the work of NEO has picked up speed, urging all job seekers to apply through the NEO e-portal (http://www.neo.gov.lb/home.aspx).(Al Diyar, February 14, 2017)
