The ACT’s answer to the People’s Daily, “Measuring Our Progress” is thrilled to report that unemployment is down from late 2009.
It’s up from where we were in 2007/8, but it’s definite progress since 2009.
Having said that unemployment in this town hasn’t been over 4% since 2003 and our participation rate is 72.4% compared to 65.5% nationally.
So if you haven’t got a job then it’s time to take another look at the choices you make. (Ditto if you can’t find staff for what you’re offering)
