The employees of the state-owned enterprises still receive paychecks, even though about a third of their workplaces have been destroyed. For example, the Sulaymaniyah Sugar Mill was bombed during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980’s, but its employees have been paid ever since, though only rats and pigeons now report for work there.
尽管国营单位的三分之一已经被毁，但是，其雇员依然在领工资。例如，苏莱马尼亚糖厂在八十年代的两伊战争期间遭到轰炸，但是该单位的员工从那时以来一直领取工资，尽管现在只有老鼠和鸽子在那里报到上班。
