Try paying your mortgage or rent on 15 hours work per week. Most part time workers are also on benefits because they don't earn enough to make ends meet. Nothing to brag about.

so JS choose your position on this

1) the 6.4% of last month was wrong and it was actually 6.1% so all your criticisms were unjustified

- OR -

2) the Abbott govt has massively improved employment and the biggest drop in unemployment in 35 years.

they are your only two choices and both suck for you.

who says they are my only choices? you think the world revolves around what you say? I say the figures look dodgy and should be taken with a grain of salt ... you really think we've had more jobs created in the last 4 weeks than in the last 12 months combined? pull your head out longy and put those pom poms down

Consumer sentiment slumps as budget worries weigh

September 10, 2014

http://www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy/consumer-sentiment-slumps-as-budget-w...

THE Australian Bureau of Statistics has come under fire after reporting the biggest monthly jump in employment in the 35 years of official records, with market economists slamming the figures as
“unbelievable.”

The August monthly labour force survey showed 121,000 jobs were created in four weeks, more than the economy had generated in the previous 12 months and
almost 10 times more than the market was expecting.
Almost 90 per cent of the new jobs were part-time.

Citigroup’s two chief economists, Josh Williamson and Paul Brennan, said:
“We don’t believe the data.”

They added that
“even the ABS probably doesn’t believe it”.

Statistically significant: why the ABS cuts matter

6 Jun, 8:06 AM

Budget cuts at the Australian Bureau of Statistics might not seem like a big deal but compromising the scope and quality of our national statistics is a decision that should not be taken lightly.

These cuts highlight the short-sightedness of Australian politics, where immaterial budget savings are placed ahead of an organisation that plays a pivotal role in government decision-making and our economic well-being.

The ABS has failed to, as Prime Minister Tony Abbott might say, “live within its means” for years. Over the past three years it has accumulated deficits of $117 million, including $45.5m over the last financial year. Based on the current budget, the ABS must cut spending by $50m over the next three years.

so last months 6.4% was wrong as well when it was the HIGHEST jump in 12 years????

you really are rogue-poll, buzz or rogue-stat buzz.

Or, does "jobs" include casuals doing just 2 hours per week?

you know as well as everyone that 'employed' means having one hour of work per week or more. that definition does not however imply that ANYONE is working one hour or the distribution of hours worked. in fact, all it does is give wankers the opportunity to complain vociferously about something they know nothing about. Surely Pedantry-man would know all about words with super-wide definitions. Perhaps you can use your super power to com up with a range of words to cover the range instead of just 'employed'.
