was surprised to read that Australia tallied 165,000 more people in employment post pandemic era ( just prior to Sydney town - no more lock downs here - dropping the ball ) when compared with pre-covid era
So why the sudden burst of national productivity and can this be developed further , a few more steps towards an accidental paradise
Can not be the international tourist industry - as no tourists , unless many of the millions were working on the sly.....
Surely not the absence of pack packers - and i do not think we have directly cracked down on permanent visa overstayers ...
Interstate tourists spending more money in diverse venues than international tourists ? I thought to early for that to ramp up
More people buying Australian goods ? No lack of money in earnings for many and possibly more nett wages with home based gainful work
Fear of loss motivating people to be more resourceful and enterprising ?
Just wondering

With what you refer to, is it true or is it an illusion with the intention to mislead? Figures can lie and liars can figure. You say you were surprised. Well, it's no surprise that you would be surprised as I'm surprised too.
Today rogespeed, politicians around the world are masters of deception and manipulating figures to justify whatever changes they have made are the norm.
Many of us have painful memories of john howard's "Work Choices". The figures given for people employed were well . . . . . . . . . I just better not say. I'm not sure if the examination of that is still on the Australian Labor Party or Australian Workers Union websites.
Anyway, we're seeing more and more hard working good folk closing up shop all around the country.

Granted , the method of collating stats can change without notice - but a 100,000+ positive improvement seems to many to be smoke and mirrors
I suppose an associated indicator would average change in wage earner gross earnings, also business people now wage earners .....
Just look at the lazy money sloshing around that is fuelling the property market boom - for home owner's in the cities - almost everyone must be asset millionaire now
