About Unemployment and Job Vacancies

[ramblingboy42]

If our current registered 740,000 unemployed Australians put in the required 40 job applications to keep their welfare benefits then there will be almost 30 million applications for the 146,000 available jobs.

Excellent news.

Before the end of the first month all job vacancies should be filled.

Unfortunately there will still be 594,000 unemployed Australians.

It really doesn't compute.

Actually the plan is to create more jobs, as to go through the resumes and applications you will need at least 1-2 more bodies in your hr dept. So if you can sort through 100 resumes a day, you will need 10,000 people to read 30 million in a month, working 7 days a week.

Someone that is quick enough will come with a cheap apps to fill and submit the job applications

I would have thought zero unemployment would be an excellent result as 146,000 more people would have jobs.

740,000 minus 146,000 = 594,000 computes fine.

What doesn't compute to me is why there are 146,000 unemployed at any one time when there are 740,000 vacancies.

According to the stats supplied, it should only take 1 application to get a job, if someone is seriously looking for work.

the facts in this thread more accurate than your fuel rebate one?

but yeah... we are obviously heading down the same path as england by the sounds of it...

well i would like to know where all my applications have ended up. very rarely do i get an acknowledgement , even rarer to get an interview. the majority of these jobs are casual only , and the average life span of the " long term prospects " has been about 10 too 12 weeks. and i would guess that i am not on the bureaus statistics as i am not eligible for much more than a word of encouragement.

the only reason I said it doesn't compute is that all vacant jobs should be filled.

that means there will be no job vacancies.

all the employment services and agencies will close.

the previously employed personnel at all the agencies join the unemployed.

Well they shouldn't...there are still 590,000 jobs available...and if anyone knows how to get a job, they should

Missed something somewhere

where did 590,000 jobs come from?

there are only 146,000 jobs available on the market now.
