Why are we blaming Hockey and Abott?

Obviously the money has got to come from somewhere. Where do you want to take it from???

Daughter in Canberra has been on maternity leave, was not required to return and got a new job today after applying for dozens. She is sooo happy tonight  😄

Plus the job is at Dickson with no parking fees so she saves on fuel, parking fees and time travelled per day.

replying to poddster who said:

There are jobs out there, the problem is that most do not want to do them.

..........................................................................................................................................................................................................

Can you provide a list of these jobs please poddster, where these jobs are located and how much they are paying?

Cheers....I don't expect to get a reply btw

Who, as a young unemployed person, can afford to move to Bondi?

Donna is it a coincidence that the area you live in offers a well known beach and good weather that attracts the young unemployed?

Where do they reside, when they move to that area? More importantly how do they pay the high rents & living costs there on an unemployment benefit??

Probably can afford a plastic tent on the beach to live in.

Donna. you mention a positive for selling on eBay but forget the newly introduced 9.9% fee on postage costs - that is a killer.

I know I know I know BUT lots of people have things sitting around they could sell, my son is putting himself through uni and doing quite well selling stuff. Postage should not be a deterrent, everyone has to pay and is in the same boat.

It is a very different world to what it was when I was a teenager, it was so easy to get work.

It is, and makes me wonder why people don't get that..because of where they live,  because they don't associate with all ages of people, because they are rich...

Well done to your son.

One reason would be  -

Not wanting to be personal in anyway, but big time sellers also have accounts with AP and pay lower postage costs than the little ones.

I live in a regional area. Heaps of jobs for the young even though winter's coming.

Well, that solves Australias total youth unemployment problem then (all 257 000 of them)  One area has plenty of jobs (bet they are casual jobs also).
