Job seekers in Greece: 'It's difficult to find a job'

A woman searching for employment at a job centre in Athens says "it's very difficult to find a job".

In 2014, Greece had the highest unemployment in Europe at 26.5 per cent.

"I was working at the insurance works," said Elizabeth, who lost her job in the economic crisis.

"Now it's very difficult to find a job because I'm very old. I'm 43. Employers don't take old people to work because we have children and it's difficult. "

"I don't think anything [agreement with International Monetary Fund] is going to happen. We have a very big problem," she added.
