Re: Unemployment on the rise again.
No way, in the same way Australia is nothing like it was 10 years ago, it is MUCH more expensive now for a start. I don't really see the relevance though.

Re: Unemployment on the rise again.
This is exactly why I get cranky when I hear from someone who has never lived here telling prospective migrants the economy is booming and there are plenty of jobs. It simply isn't the case.
I would agree.been here 5 years and work as a sub contractor in building industry. Seems to be less and less work out there every week

I hadn't heard anything about that, it is devastating for an area that is so reliant on an industry.
