    According to a March 2011 poll commissioned by the Armenian government
    that included 1,605 respondents in Yerevan and the marzes, 45.2% said
    they were employed, 20.2% were unemployed, 21.8% said they were
    housewives and 12.8% identified themselves as pensioners.

    These results unfavorably compare with poll results from December
    2010, when only 15.1% of respondents claimed to be unemployed and
    52.3%, employed.

    Regarding household income, 46% of respondents in the recent poll said
    their family income is between 40,000-130,000 AMD and 16.7% between
    131,000-260,000 AMD.

    Almost half of all respondents, 47.2%, said their overall
    social-economic situation had worsened over the past year.

    Only 10.6% claimed they were happy with their present standard of living.
