I dunno. Let's say I lose my current job at middle age. Then the only thing I could find was paying half or less. Well I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons to continue living.
As long as you're working doing something, anything, opportunities will open up to you
Not necessarily. I know a few people who have been destitute for years, and frankly I wonder where they find the will to keep going... I doubt I would have continued to endure if the shoes were on my feet (or in such cases, sometimes shoes are a luxury one has to scavenge for).
Get a lawn mower and put an ad in the local paper.
AND (and here's the good bit) be on time every time and do a better job than the competition, you will get referrals and before long you will be franchising.
Just give people what they want and you'll always be on top of the game.
You obviously have no experience with such people. But no hard feelings.
You have to have the WILL to get somewhere , anywhere, if not you wont get anywhere, you have to help yourself.
amen to that
but when people lose there will as ato is trying to say, what then ?
Could be an interesting year with regards to the stockmarket in 2010 as more revenue comes into the market place from more peoples Super.
Unemployment rate in my part of the country 9.8%.
Very tough.
Figures hide a lot. I know in my area this year a number of people have been made redundant and not eligible for Centrelink benefits and don't take part in that system. Also in NW Tas there have been some announcements of some closures which will impact next year. Luckily the government has stepped in to help them retrain and get skills for the unknown jobs where no specifics are mentioned.
Centrelink and ATO could probably help a lot to get figures on unemployment instead of using extrapolated ABS figures.
I can only see a further increase in the ammount of full time jobs from here on in.
Resource companies will be hiring bitime in the New Year with some massive investment projects coming onstream.
Intrest rates will rise again in Febuary but the housing sector maybe more robust than I originally thought.
Peak unemployment is now in at 5.8%

Good point Krusty, this is the sort of thing the aggregate figures hide. I hope, though, the situation there is at least on the improve?

McCain - closing
Wesley Vale pulp mill - closing
Burnie paper mill - downsizing and probable closure.
NW Tas is about to get hit pretty hard with job losses and this comes after the recent big job losses at Caterpillar etc too.
