No they don't. No call centre, no door-to-door selling, no fruit picking, no prostitution. Even Centrelink have limits.

Really - they actually have jobs on their list which people
don't have to apply for?

Yes really. In regional areas Centrelink have a list of companies that have a record of dodgy business practices regarding workers and they are also on the list. You know the places that everyone is talking about, the ones where people say they wouldn't work for them for a million dollars a week, although they probably would for a million ha ha, the businesses that go through employees faster than Anna Bligh sells assets.

Yet there exists call centres in Australia, which kinda refutes your point.

As someone indicated above, the dole pays very little so if a call centre job became available to someone in dire need of money, then they'd take it.

Not really, I do realise that the person at the other end of my phone is sometimes an Aussie, but not always.

If every person on the dole accepted a job within there skill set we would not have to import unskilled, semi-skilled labor from 3rd world countries on 457 visas. Backpackers would not be filling unskilled jobs that the unemployed could do, but while we have unlimited dole that will never happen.

Some people are unemployable and some choose to not work for a miriad of excuses, it is how this country operates.

Actually, after 3 months of being unemployed you are obliged to go to an employment agency and search for work on their computers for a number of hours each day. You are required to apply for a number of jobs each day and follow them up until you are employed. Failure to do this results in the dole being cut off.

However, getting back to the point of the thread, how do you see 108 newly unemployed finding work in a non-growth town?
