Job Credit Scheme working? :oIo:

[Perspective]

Ngiam unimpressed by Jobs Credit scheme

How come Ngiam didn't get attacked by 7 PAP MPs?

>>>Ms De Souza, who is single, is slightly better off — her S$800 monthly salary helps to cover the monthly S$500 HDB mortgage.

"It is not great, but it beats sitting around at home," she said.<<<

Remember to end leeport on high note instead of questioning the Papayas for their incompetence and betrayal!

If you are a businessman then you would know that there are many costs that the PAP are responsible for pushing up: transport, rentals, utilities,...

Why don't you take your case with your friendly PAP MP.

While you're at it ask them to take a pay cut.

Hahaha, spot on. That businessman(besotted) who wrote that is stupid not to calculate that they give you 1 dollar and taking 3 from you. Cut cost for you, why not lower the GST and ERP? Or better still, take away the petrol tax? All modern economy depend on oil.

All these are controlled by gov right? Are these affected by prices of commodities? No, it can be affected when govenment reduce their salaries, and their losing business elsewhere. If you dono how to do business, dont do.

>>>Among the resident labour force, the non-adjusted unemployment rate was 6 per cent in June, higher than the 4.4 per cent in the previous quarter, <<<

Apart from Peesai in which the govt is the BEST PAID in the world, which other functioning country fudge the unemployment figure till like this?

Where is GCT? He will be saying if JCS is working, I am worried. :p

 

[TeeKee]

But Jobs Credit Scheme helps me cut labour costs tremendously. With the extra cash, I can expand my business, go holiday, buy property, etc

This Ngiam sits in his ivory tower and comment comment comment like a typical academic

Come out into the real world and take action not talk cock

mind you this guy was a respectable former civil servant and he holds key financial and economic positions before...if you bother to read his book. he belongs to the old guards...

dun open your mouth so quickly before you know about him.

Raise output for upturn

LABOUR chief Lim Swee Say on Friday urged companies to increase their effort on developing new markets for their products as one way of raising the productivity of their workers.

He made the call following feedback from many companies that measures like the Jobs Credit wage subsidy scheme have led to them holding on to more workers than they need.

They had noted that when 10 workers are retained to do the job of eight or nine workers, short-term productivity sufferes.

Mr Lim, however, felt that Singapore was doing the right thing with these measures to save jobs.

One way to get around the short-term impact on productivity is to 'find ways to prepare these 10 workers, so that by the time the upturn is back, (they) can produce the output of 11 to 12 workers.'

Mr Lim, who was speaking at the labour movement's first National Day observance ceremony, gave several suggestions on how this can be achieved.

They include improving service quality, being quick in producing products that meet changing demand, as well as hastening the process from research and development to getting the product made and on shop shelves.
