13.01.2022 Watching The Watchers - Covid Jobs update from John Black, CEO of Education Geographics, September 23, 2020. So which groups and regions have been losing jobs under the Covid-19 job lockdowns? Not necessarily who you’d have thought, as it turns out. And what impact is losing your job likely to have on your vote? Frankly, the polls seem to show the voters distinguishing between the political management of Covid lockdowns and their future voting intention.... It seems that inspirational leadership at times of great stress doesn’t necessary get you re-elected as Winston Churchill discovered after World War 2.

07.01.2022 What’s in an Age? - Covid Jobs Update from John Black, CEO of Education Geographics, October 12, 2020 Some economists, trade unions and the Labor Opposition say the Federal Government’s JobMaker Budget proposal which subsidises wages only for eligible workers less than 35 years old should be open to eligible workers of any age. They argue that the current policy discriminates against older workers and may be open to job substitution rorts from some employers. And most Austral...ian voters tend to agree with them.

07.01.2022 Newer Isn’t Always Better - Covid Jobs update from John Black, CEO of Education Geographics, October 6, 2020. A week or so back we provided a profile of how the broader Australian stereotypes were faring under Covid jobs lockdowns and today we’re urging a bit of caution when it comes to rushing to judgement on the latest payroll stats because newer isn’t always better. Although they don’t quite put it like this, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and I both agree the payro...ll stats are like a fine bottle of red you’re well advised to let them age a little after opening, before taking the first sip and rushing to judgement.

01.01.2022 We Told You So.. JobMaker misses the real target - written by John Black, CEO of Education Geographics, November 17, 2020 Today’s ABS Single Touch Payroll data confirms that JobMaker has come too late to help younger workers displaced by Covid job lockdowns and it is now missing the real target older workers in retirement and tourist regions. Outside of Victoria, Australia’s younger workers are already a lot better off than their parents, when it comes to jobs lost due to C...ovid lockdowns. The Jobs Index numbers from today’s ABS release (below) shows workers aged 20-29 years are well ahead of their parents’ generation in the mainland states, with the exception of Victoria. This is because younger workers tend to lose their more casual jobs in food and retail first during downturns, but then typically lead the recovery. This means, as a policy response, that JobMaker has come about four months too late for all Australian states except Victoria, which was held back by its second wave.
