Moreover, outside of the oil and electric power sectors, state-owned enterprises in Iraq have never been major employers. For example, the roughly 180 enterprises in the Ministry of Industry and Minerals, which controls all state-owned manufacturing companies, never employed much more than 100,000 workers in a nation of roughly 27 million people.
而且，除了石油和电气动力部门，伊拉克的国营企业从来都不是主要的就业单位。例如，工业和矿产部的大约180个企业控制着所有的国营制造业公司，但是它们在伊拉克这样一个2700万人口的国家中，从来就没有雇用过超过10万名工人。
