Ebola outbreak creates unemployment in Liberia

A survey conducted by the World Bank revealed that nearly half of all Liberians who were employed when the Ebola outbreak began are no longer working.

It said many workers have been told to stay at home or have lost their jobs, while markets have been forced to shut.

Earlier, a World Bank economist said the Ebola outbreak was expected to cost the region about three to four billion dollars.

A Senior World Bank Official, Ana Revenga, said those areas that have not been hit by Ebola in Liberia are suffering the economic side effects of this terrible disease.
