You should google to find out I think... lolWhat's a pearl shop?
Thanks Timmy, for that article.
1 in 5 people of prime working age has no job. I think it is safe to say the official number labelled "unemployment rate" is so far skewed as to be useless for anything. shadowstats puts their count of the unemployment in the US just above 1 in 5 while the government there reports at half of that.
Discouraged workers all over the world are taken off the "unemployed" register, just to goose the numbers, so pollies can say they reduced unemployment in an election year
There are several studies which have been done, one by the ABS that shows generally in any form of recession when the prime age male workforce (not sure why this does not also apply to women, but it doesn't seem to) becomes discouraged workers it is difficult or even impossible in some cases to return those people to the workforce, even long after the recession is over.
Young women can almost ALWAYS find work. Thats why..
14.5k new jobs created last month apparently. Expectations were for 5k
Obviously people are still hiring out there...
Another 11k jobs created last month, compared to expectations of 200... Economists off the mark yet again
Where are all the jobs coming from? Most of clients are saying business is OK, not good, not bad
Are us Aussies just a whinging lot looking for any excuse as to why things aren't doing well, yet they actually are?
Could it be possible that things are turning around? Construction is up here in china, that means more materials...
NOVEMBER UNEMPLOYMENT (10.0%, UP 0.3%) RISES TO 1.229 MILLION (UP 66,000).
HIGHEST SINCE JANUARY 2012. RECORD NUMBER OF AUSTRALIANS
EITHER UNEMPLOYED OR UNDER-EMPLOYED (2.222 MILLION, UP 84,000)
The latest Roy Morgan unemployment estimate of 10.0% is now almost double the 5.4% currently quoted by the ABS for October 2012.

And these jobs are only the tip of the iceberg. I watched a program last week that mentioned that auctions (large and small - baby clothing to cranes) are booming presently - unfortunately some have resulted in jobs losses.
Maybe in a few years there won't be a need for too many drivers in a lot of industries e.g. trams & trains. The first two mines in the world to start moving all of their iron ore using fully remote-controlled trucks have just gone online in Western Australia's Pilbara. Mining giant Rio Tinto is running pits at its Yandicoogina and Nammuldi mine sites, with workers controlling the driverless trucks largely from an operations centre in Perth, 1,200 kilometres away. More can be read at this link:- http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-18/rio-tinto-opens-worlds-first-automated-mine/6863814
Obviously the unions won't like it - http://www.mining.com/two-aussie-mines-start-moving-all-their-iron-ore-with-driverless-trucks/
In the last month, technology has directly affected our work scope by reducing the man hours required. The catch 22 is all companies need to reduce costs of running the business to maintain or increase profit so the workers will always be affected. For the 'surplus' positions in a company to find employment elsewhere, there has to be new businesses created. Competition by many for a few jobs is back again.Your job may soon be obsolete
Your job may soon be obsolete:-
This has been going on since the dawn of time.
Technology has constantly been making jobs obsolete, don't see how this time is any different, it is just progress.
Cheers
