18.01.2022 Under ‘normal’ economic times, the youth unemployment rate is generally twice that of the total unemployment rate. When you combine the widespread job losses over the last seven months with some restrictions still remaining, young people who have lost their jobs are facing even more competition with experienced adults from all sectors and levels in the mix for these traditionally lower-paid, unskilled jobs. In response, the Federal government announced the JobMaker Hiring Cre...dit initiative in this month’s budget - a wage subsidy program designed to entice businesses into hiring more young people. Simon Creek, Executive Chairman, Nationally Accredited Mediator and Family Lawyer at HHG Legal Group, joined Anthony Tilli on Triple M Albany this week to discuss the benefits as well as the potential drawbacks of the proposed scheme.
