Jobs, jobs, jobs!

Therefore the Governments have to work out, where they get tax from, when nobody works.

Simple :

1. LAND TAX
2. Means test on the Pension
3. Make people work for social benefits, like the dole (**** they don't work anyway)
4. No free medical services if you eat donuts, smoke and drink a slab of beer a day (making people responsible for their own health)

Technology will always displace jobs, it always has and always will.

Just ask the boot maker, cabinet maker, brick layer, stone mason, typist, sign writer, sword maker, jeweler, tool maker, graphic designer, offset printer, black smith and many many many more.

Just part of life.

You are starting to sound like Tony Abbott.

See how well that worked, the last thing people want to hear, is reality.

I don't wear buggie smugglers.

People of inherently selfish, so listening to reality is not something they can hear.

So Satanoperca where are these people who you say don't work for their social benefits? I presume (reading between the lines) is that you think Centrelink (and alike) have not been following up on checking that these so called bludgers have been out doing those jobs given to them?

No free medical services if you eat donuts, smoke pot or getting p----d everyday. Gee your a hard one aren't you, no compassion for those who were less fortunate than yourself. Maybe you should go out in your solid gold 4WD and face up to them and advise them how to get a job in these difficult times.

No one wants to see social benefits stopped, but there needs to be a realisation that people have to move to where the jobs are.
Everyone would prefer to live in the coastal strip from Brisbane to Perth, but it has to be accepted jobs have to be filled in the outback, if people without good reason won't do them stop their welfare.

No free medical services if you eat donuts, smoke pot or getting p----d everyday. Gee your a hard one aren't you, no compassion for those who were less fortunate than yourself. Maybe you should go out in your solid gold 4WD and face up to them and advise them how to get a job in these difficult times.

Again I see heaps of welfare recipients at the pub every day, I'm not saying they shouldn't, but as I said if our future is developing the outback.
Sitting at the pub bitching about how tough it is getting a job, doesn't cut it, of course it is hard getting a job in the cities, everyone wants to live there.

What's your answer, just keep stacking them up, untill even you can't afford it.

1. no, people learn to rout the system, i have friends that have learnt to play the game and been on the dole for years, many have degrees, they choose it as a lifestyle. They know my stance, get a job.

2. Centrelink are useless, they have the capacity to stop this, but are hamstrung by goodie to shoes like yourself who think it is acceptable and the mainstream to be granted tax payers money for nothing

3. There is work for everyone, just not at wages that everyone accepts, suck it up princess, we all have to start somewhere, life is not easy.

4. How is sucking down bongs being less fortunate. I would love to do it all day long if someone is paying for my lifestyle and has nothing to do with being less fortunate.

5. Less fortunate, who the f---k are you to make assumptions about my own situation in life. Ask questions before making stupid statements without evidence or fact.

6. Just shows how silly you are, it is a platinum lambo encrusted with diamonds if you really want to know.

7. Trolls are easily baited as they are often naive and with little general knowledge, let alone any technical skills

8. Have a nice day

9. You must be on the dole.

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 business of doing away with expensive human beings is planned for the modern Roy Hill iron ore mine as this excerpt foreshadows.

In the future, the locomotives could become completely automated and allow Roy Hill to run driverless trains. Says R.J. Foy, a leader for on-board electronics at GE Transportation: “Small, light trains are operated driverless today at airports and some metro systems. We are working on extending that technology to automate the massive 1.5 mile long, 30,000 ton freight trains that Roy Hill wants to run.”

Thankfully, materials friction, gravity and corrosion, to name a few, are still in the engineers too hard basket. It's a bit crazy in how we gradually do ourselves out of a career.

Our company is a large employer and has again foreshadowed further downsizing in coming years. I don't believe employment in non-resource related industries is soaking up the surplus because why would demand in other industries suddenly appear. Something is a bit suss. with the employment figures. I think the actual higher number of unemployed people will appear in figures when the resource related employees have exhausted their (should be) substantial savings.

Welcome onboard, many on here have being saying this is about a drop in living standards, not a hickup in the economy.

Hope you invested and saved well during the boom.

===========================================================


Yahoo Finance has identified eight Aussie jobs which have a surprisingly high wage.

Elevator mechanic
Elevator mechanics are often on call 24 hours per day, are required to carry and lift heavy machinery and face quite significant risk on a daily basis. But they are rewarded with a surprisingly hefty annual salary of up to $133,000.

Air traffic controller
Being responsible for the safe arrival and departure of aircrafts has its benefits – air traffic controllers can earn up to $129,000 per year.

Offshore underwater welder
An Australian underwater welder – someone who repairs, installs and inspects pipelines – can earn up to $65,000 per year, but for those who are willing to take the added the risk taking that offshore to deeper oceans can see their annual salary rocket to $180,000.


Flavourist
A flavourist who uses chemistry to engineer artificial and natural flavours in food and drink has a job title most people wouldn’t think exist, and a $80,000 salary to match.

Crime scene cleaner
Some crime scenes can be pretty gruesome, but those with a strong stomach and an inclination to clean can land themselves with a decent $80,000 per year.


Abalone diver
Abalone divers have to brave the freezing, murky waters of Australia’s Port Lincoln and Western Australia, but for those bold enough the pay is as great as the risk at up to $120,000.

Funeral worker
Funeral workers perform special services including conducting and arranging funerals, and preparing remains for viewing, burial, and/or cremation. It’s a rather morbid job, but one that can earn a surprising $78,000.


Personal shopper
Personal shoppers do exactly what their name suggests: shop for people who don’t have the time or energy, with the potential to earn in excess of $100,000 in the meantime.

A friend's wife is a personal shopper. She charges $250/hour for her time. I once met a girl who was a "wardrobe consultant". She charged you to tell you how to better arrange what's in your wardrobe. I really struggled to keep a straight face.

There's an art to it I guess, but most artists (painters, sculptors etc) wouldn't earn $20/hr, let alone $250. Social status can be leveraged. If you're from a well-known family for example, you can do that sort of work and feel entitled to 250/hr and probably much more.

It goes to show that supply/demand isn't always the determining factor in earnings. There will be someone making a fortune selling pokemon thingos somewhere in the world... probably.

 

[sptrawler]

Well I don't think these workers, will be getting people to shop for them.

Five days pay for 4 days at work !
It will be interesting to see how this workplace experiment plays out. A New Zealand firm is giving all employees a day off a week but not reducing pay. They are banking on employees being more focused and effective while at work and believe they will end up with a more committed workforce and at least the same bottom line result. Interesting to see how it pans out and, if it is successful, how many other workplaces decide to follow suit.

If one thinks about it, if a workplace offers people a 4 day week but expects real focus and good results then it should end up attracting and holding the top end of talent in the marketplace. And of course the bottom line would still be attractive.

Work four days, get paid for five: New Zealand company's new shorter week
Perpetual Guardian says it is experimenting with a rota that rewards employees the same for less work
