- Description
The cartoon shows Paula Bennett, Minister for Social Development. She says 'Employment numbers are under control... indicators and aims are improving!.' For her pains she gets an egg representing 'IRD cuts' in the eye and another egg representing 'Govt. dept. downsizing' flies towards the other eye. Context: Seek New Zealand says that the steady rise in jobs over the past 12 months points to a robust labour market, increased hiring intentions and more opportunities for job seekers.(money.msn.co.nz) The Council of Trade Unions said it was a "jobless recovery" despite a rise in the economy in the six months to March. Unemployment was not falling despite tentative growth after the recession and youth unemployment remained high at 27.6 per cent, CTU secretary Peter Conway said. (Waikato Times 5 August 2011)
