Amman, July 11 (Petra) -- Ministry of Labor dismissed media reports on Saturday claiming that a factory in the northeastern governorate of Mafraq had laid off 4,000 workers, calling the allegations incorrect.

Mohammad Al-Zyoud, the ministry's spokesperson, said in a statement that the only financially distressed factory in Mafraq employs 60 workers, all of whom are Jordanian citizens. He added that the ministry has been actively monitoring the situation at the facility for some time.
