If unemployment is down to record lows, are all the people on work for the dole etc included in this

If all the job search programs and casual labor hire jobs that employ people for minimal hours reduce the unemployment rate, is our real unemployment level what Mr Howard and his clever treasurer say?

If unemployment is down to record lows, are all the people on work for the dole etc included in this figure?

The answer is no the real unemployment rate is closer to 10% and there have been some studies done to prove this at Newcastle University.

As you only have to work one hour a week to be considered as in full time employment all Howard has done is create massive under employment which is leading to a new class of working poor.Exactly what has happened in the US under Howards best mate GW.Under work choices it can only get worse,when the mining boom ends and both full time and part time jobs become harder to find you really will see the effect of work choices-either work for $2.50 an hour with no rights or privileges or sit at home and starve-also happening in the US at the moment.

How does the US ration the poor at the moment?They invade sovereign countries for no legitimate reason and force the poor into the army to keep the war machine grinding and hand more profits to their mates in big business.Again expect the same here in Oz if the Liberals get in again.

No, and all the people working an hour a week aren%26#039;t *really* %26#039;employed%26#039; either ... but they are counted that way to make that nice low figure.

Sad to say, an incoming government that does their counting in an honest way will have to face criticism from Howard%26#039;s hench-idiots about %26#039;rising%26#039; unemployment.

I%26#039;m so sick of all the lies! The name %26#039;Fiberals%26#039; is so accurate!

Cheers :-)
