More fantasy from the resident fantasist.
More good advice from the resident mentor
is what you should have said George
I hope you don't mean yourself. You also fail at the real world because you have no idea what is going on out there at the pointy end of the employment market, no idea AT ALL.
You haven't applied for 1000 jobs without getting any. You don't know that most employers will not employ people with gaps in their resumes if they have another candidate with no such gaps. You don't know about the endemic corruption in the system that is supposed to support jobless people, including criminal activity by JSA providers, private education providers and the like, who are not subject to the same level of accountability as the jobless. We spend more money "managing" the unemployed than we do on actually helping them.
in the end , a job is about a "relationship" between an employer and an employee , or between a small business person and a customer.
it is not dissimilar to a "relationship" between a man and a woman.
if a man said , I have been on 100's of dates and I cant find a suitable woman, would society then throw this problem over to the government and make it a government responsibility. and if they did, would this be likely to work.
as I have said before 19 out of 20 new "jobs" never go through centrelink,never go through the classifieds, never go through "seek".
the government is the last person I would make responsible for finding someone a love interest and it is the last person I would make responsible for finding someone a job.
Stats back up my position.
Hows that for realism.
And i'll bet the 95 % of people who "mysteriously" morph into the workforce without any intervention, do so on the basis of the social network they created through my suggested "positive attitude" approach.
When you've got a government that signs FTA's that deny jobs to Australians, encourages 457 visas that deny jobs to Australians (and turns a blind eye to compliance) and encourages manufacturers to shut their doors, the government are morally responsible for helping people to find alternative work and creating jobs.
Unemployment is rising. It has been for three years. Neither side of politics has acknowledged this problem and both are responsible for it. It is not cyclical. It is structural.
And it is worse than that. The support system for the unemployed is failing. Work for the Dole, Job Services Australia, private education providers - many of them are corrupt, even criminal. The best way to eliminate this corruption is to gut this failing system and start again.
Up to 500,000 government jobs could be funded, right now, with the money that is spent on "managing" the unemployed. This would be far better than lying to the unemployed with false hope, destroying jobs, not encouraging businesses to hire the unemployed and wasting billions of dollars of taxpayers' money propping up unemployment-focused businesses that are rife with corruption due to a lack of accountability.
Of course, businesses won't like this idea - it reduces the eternal threat of unemployment and destitution that makes their workers more compliant with wages demands. It won't remove it entirely of course - minimum wage is still not much money - but businesses won't like the idea of having this weapon taken from them.
Wait until they work out though where all the new customers are coming from...
