After estimating the model using Bayesian approach, the model was simulated. The results of variance decomposition show that government employment was the largest role in explaining the fluctuations in unemployment and monetary shocks play the most important role in private sector employment. Impulser response functions also show that monetary shock, government employment shock and oil revenues shock reduce the total unemployment
