IT’S TWICE AS HARD TO GET A JOB IN THE REGIONS
LINDA BURNEY MP
There are 28 Australians receiving unemployment payments for every one job vacancy in our regions.
There were over 740,000 Australians on JobSeeker in non-capital city areas in June, according to answers to Questions on Notice by the Department of Social Services.
Yet, there were 25,000 job vacancies, according to the Department of Jobs and Small Business’s Internet Vacancy Index, for the same time period.
In capital city areas, there were over 873,000 JobSeeker recipients for 63,000 job vacancies – a 13 to one ratio.
This means it’s twice as hard to get a job outside the capital cities.
Michael McCormack is in denial.
