6,200 new jobs under the Hodgman Liberal Government
The Hodgman Liberal Government’s number one priority is jobs.
Today’s ABS figures are further evidence that our long-term Plan for a brighter future is working.
While ABS data can be volatile, the trend is definitely in the right direction and since the election, 6,200 new jobs have been created. On average, that’s over 11 new jobs each and every day since the election and the unemployment rate is now the lowest it’s been in almost four years.
While there is still a lot of work to do, we are well on the way to achieving our target of reducing the unemployment rate to the national average.
Peter Gutwein, Treasurer
