According to the data shown at Table 3 the number of people with 8/9 years school and secondary school has decreased significantly. While the percentage of unemployment among people with a university degree has experienced a decrease from 2000 until 2005. This is was due to the need of the labor market for educated employees and the small number of under graduated employees at that time. From 2006 until 2010 the unemployment among university graduated started to increase. One of the main reasons for this increase was the high enrollment in universities (shown in Appendix 3) due to the process of liberalization of tertiary education. Another reason was the saturation of labor market with high education profile employers.
